The Effectiveness of Theraplay® as a Counseling Practice With Mothers and Their Children in a Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Residential Facility
Substance abuse in parents is damaging to their children and the family system as a whole. If family treatment is paired with substance abuse treatment for the parents, children have the possibility of having better attachment with their parents and thus increase general functioning skills and overall family well-being. This study examined the impact of Whole Family Theraplay as an effective play therapy treatment with mothers in recovery from su…
Treatment and Therapy Considerations for Adopted Children and Their Families
Adoptive families seek mental health counseling more often than the general population (Miller, Fan, Christensen, Grotevant, & van Dulmen, 2000). In many cases, problems stem from factors that pred
Whole Family Theraplay
This article regarding the effectiveness of Theraplay for the clinical treatment of adoptive families both outlines a model for integrating family systems theory with Theraplay to create a new approach entitled Whole Family Theraplay (WFT), as well as provides a preliminary report of a pilot study demonstrating the efficacy of that model. WFT integrates Theraplay with family systems approaches (Structural and Experiential Family Therapies) to tre…
Adoptive Family “Leap-Frogging” Patterns
This article examines a developmental change pattern that considers dimensions of time and social comparison called “leap-frogging” that was discovered to occur within the rapid transition to parenthood among some adoptive families. Leap-frogging occurs where infertile couples feel left or lagging behind their social counterparts, but abruptly, rather than gradually, transition to become adoptive parents upon adoptive placement thus leaving the n…
Multidimensional Aspects of Adoptive Family Social Disclosure Patterns
This qualitative study of adoptive parents demonstrates the multidimensional nature of the social disclosure patterns of 44 couples who have adopted at least one child during the past decade. Three main types of social disclosure patterns were found: Advocates, Moderates, and Reluctants. Each type varied on several dimensions: open communication patterns, social networks, internal/external family distinctions, motives, and tactics. This article s…
Developmental, Familial, and Peer Deterrents to Adoption Placement
This article focuses on the developmental, familial and peer deterrents that form barriers to adoption placement among teen mothers in a residential facility. An Eriksonian developmental model is used to explore developmental issues of identity, projective identification, and industry among teens. The findings suggest that family “cutoffs” and “re-admissions” also serve as deterrents to adoption placement. Additionally, peer pressure from residen…
