Regulation Focused Psychotherapy for Children (RFP-C)
Synopsis: Regulation Focused Psychotherapy for Children (RFP-C) is a manualized, psychodynamic, play therapy intervention for children with externalizing problems. RFP-C consists of 16 individual play therapy sessions plus 4 sessions with the child's caregiver(s). The theoretical premise for the therapeutic process in RFP-C is that all behavior has meaning and that some children engage in disruptive behaviors as a way to avoid experiencing painful or threatening emotions such as guilt, shame, and sadness. This webinar will provide an overview of the treatment protocol with discussion of its theoretical underpinnings and an overview of a current randomized controlled trial being conducted. Clinical examples will be presented along with consideration of how RFP-C principles can be integrated into other modes of intervention.
