Abstract
Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) has been growing in research over the past few years. Studies have indicated that CPRT is an effective approach to enhancing the child-parent relationship (Landreth & Bratton, 2006; Edwards, Sullivan, Meany-Walen, Kantor, 2010; Sheely-Moore & Ceballos, 2011). CPRT encourages parents to strengthen and enhance their relationships with their child(ren) based on the development of increased levels of empathy and acceptance. Although there have been quantitative studies conducted to study the effectiveness of CPRT, limited studies have researched qualitative outcomes. This pilot study measures qualitative outcomes of one group of participants over ten sessions using pre/post test data. Findings indicate that parents perceive CPRT is an overall beneficial model to the strengthening their child-parent relationship. Results and future implications are discussed.
