Filial Family Therapy Group – Lost and

play, and to set limits on inappropriate behavior using
a simple, non-punitive procedure. Parents and children
begin to develop mastery of the skills and behaviors of
the play sessions and can then transfer these skills to
settings outside the play. This group is for parents of
children who are in therapy at Family Counseling Center,
with their therapist’s permission.
