Filial therapy is an approach used by play therapists to train parents to be therapeutic agents with their own children. Parents are taught basic child-centered play therapy skills and practice those skills during weekly play sessions with their children. The purpose of this study was to determine if filial therapy is effective in: (1) increasing parental acceptance of children with a learning difficulty; (2) reducing the stress level of parents of children with learning difficulties; (3) decreasing social problems and total behavior problems of children with learning difficulties as reported by parents and teachers. The experimental group parents (N = 11) received 10 weekly 2 hour filial therapy training sessions and participated in weekly 30-minute play sessions with one of their children. The control group (N = 11) received no treatment during the 10 weeks. All adult participants completed the Porter Parental Acceptance Scale, the Parenting Stress Index, and the Child Behavior Checklist Parent Report Form. The teachers of the child participants completed the Child Behavior Checklist Teacher Report Form. Analyses of Covariance revealed that the parents of children experiencing learning difficulties in the experimental group significantly increased their attitude of acceptance toward their children and experienced a significant decrease in the level of stress related to parenting. There was not a significant decrease in social problems and total behavior problems as reported by parents and teachers. This study supports filial therapy as an effective intervention for the parents of experiencing learning difficulties. Filial therapy equips parents with healthy parenting skills and knowledge which significantly reduces parental stress and increases parental acceptance. Thus, filial therapy offers significant possibilities for promoting the parent-child relationship and the well-being of children experiencing learning difficulties.
