We describe the structure of filial therapy, the goals, the process and meaning. We also focus on the viewpoints of effectivity in the educational influence in children and their mothers who are coming from a dysfunctional environment influenced by violence. The goal of this work is to emphasize the significance of filial therapy in making space for building the healthy relationships within a family, and in tertiary prevention of familiar violence. We also point out the option of filial therapy being carried out not only in dysfunctional families, but also in others in which socio - pathological phenomena do not occur, but the parents are interested in improving their relationships with their children.
