Child Parent Relationship Therapy

Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT, Landreth & Bratton, 2006) is a play-based 10 week group for children presenting with behavioral/emotional/social/attachment concerns. CPRT supports the idea a secure parent-child relationship is essential for child's well-being. During the 10 week group, parents learn skills to respond to their children's emotional/behavioral needs. In turn, children learn they can count on their parents to reliably/consistently meet their needs for love/acceptance/safety/security. The goal of CPRT is to strengthen the parent-child attachment bond, reducing behavior problems and stress in the parent-child relationship.
