“…Across helping professions, practitioners have emphasized the need for and the importance of family-centered assessment and treatment (Perry, 2007; Pritchett et al, 2010; Reeves & Anthony, 2009; Reinherz, Giaconia, Paradis, Novero, & Kerrigan, 2008; Tomlin & Viehweg, 2003; Wallander, Dekker, & Koot, 2006). Research buttresses the importance of family-centered treatment in that caregiver involvement in the mental health treatment of children is associated with better outcomes (Bratton, Ray, Rhine, & Jones, 2005; Richards, Bowers, Lazicki, Krall, & Jacobs, 2008).…”

“…Research conducted by Sax (2007) reveals that parents of children with mental health concerns desire family-centered systems of care that provide effective helping strategies, entail meaningful parental involvement, and enhance support among parents. However, as Perry (2007) has noted, there is a lack of systematic treatment methods that comprehensively address the diverse treatment needs of families with young children. The call from organizations, professionals, and families regarding the need for family-based services is clear, but an answer seems to be lacking.…”

The call for family-centered therapeutic services, especially for families of young children, has come from governmental organizations, professional associations, practitioners, and families. Play therapists and family therapists are prime candidates to provide such services, but professional research and literature suggest that practitioners within these fields tend to exclude members of the family system. This had led some to propose filial therapy, an outgrowth of child-centered play therapy, as a means of meaningfully integrating parents and children in treatment. However, play therapists may have difficultly conceptualizing from a family systems lens, while family therapists may struggle to see the theoretical compatibility of filial therapy with their systemic views. This article demonstrates the conceptual overlap between filial therapy and the major family therapy models with the goal of encouraging play therapists and family therapists to answer the call to provide family-centered services.

“…Yet mothers suffering from isolation—in particular mothers of children with developmental disorders—have long reported feeling unheard and poorly supported by both community and professionals and having limited outlets to share their emotions (Benson, 2006 ). Where interventions have been proposed, most have aimed at child symptom reduction or enhancing parenting skills and not the needs of the parent (Perry, 2007 ).…”

The occupational role of a mother parenting a child with developmental and socially disruptive conduct is unique. How mothers express their experiences is poorly explored in the literature. This study aims to better understand mothers’ description of their unique experiences in order to better inform interventions. Using a narrative inquiry approach, mothers convey unique stressors related to two central themes (role fulfillment and role support) during a journal writing intervention. Studying mothers’ own words as they attempted to make sense of their experiences aligns with the foundational principles of narrative medicine: People make sense of their experiences through storytelling. Knowledge gained from this research underscores the importance of centering a mother’s voice in order to create effective interventions.
