|
This case study aimed to understand participation process and meaning in filial therapy by a mother who had difficulty with affectional bond to her child. For that purpose, a phenomenological study was conducted. First mother-child relationships revealed in the filial therapy process were examined along with any changes to their relationships, and then efforts were made to understand what kind of meaning the mother would find. As a result, the child was not good at expressions at the beginning of the filial therapy. In the play sessions, when the child asked the mother about prohibition of act, she immediately set limits. The mother felt awkward while playing with her child and discovered how she was usually under supervision. It was after three special play sessions that the child started to nestle in the mother’s arms and that the mother started to accept the child’s demands. Once those changes happened, the child began to engage in self-expression, and the mother was able to see the child with all her heart. Then she felt sorry for her child and started to treat her child differently. While she improved her relationships with the child in the process, she experienced new found difficulty with her relationships with its younger sibling. The meanings she found in her experiences with filial therapy were the empathic understanding of her child and her title as the mother.
