Widely used, evidence-based child trauma treatment models view the possibilities of engaging parents in the child’s recovery from trauma in very different ways. We can learn much about the realities of collaboration with parents and the possibilities by comparing these models: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Trauma Systems Therapy (TST), and Trauma-Adapted Family Connections (TA-FC).
While each of the four models has proven efficacy, each makes use of the parent in unique ways. Each takes a different position on how to engage the parent as a positive force in the child’s recovery during treatment; how to address the parent’s potential hampering of the child’s recovery; how to work with the parent’s sense of responsibility for the trauma; how to divide up the treatment roles between the clinician and the parent; how to help build the parent-child relationship in the face of trauma; and how to prepare the parent to maintain the child’s recovery after termination This comparison of different successful models can help us articulate our own positions and aspirations as clinicians empowering parents to actively contribute to their child’s healing from trauma.
