Implementation and sustainability of child ‐parent psychotherapy: the role of reflective consultation in the learning collaborative model

This article describes the authors’ experiences in facilitating Child‐Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) training and explores the role of reflective clinical consultation as an active process that supports the implementation of a rich, but complex, model that requires sophisticated knowledge and skills from practitioners.
