273:. Human subjects were divided into two groups, a treatment group that consisted of 10 people, and a control group that consisted of 12 people. The sample group was made up of students and staff from a rural university, and only the treatment group went through self-reparenting treatment. The subjects were given questionnaires to measure their level of self-esteem before and after treatment. The result showed that subjects that received self-reparenting had significantly increased levels of self-esteem while the control group had decreased levels of self-esteem.

therapist accomplishes this by partaking in child-rearing acts such as bottle feeding, lap pillows, and other techniques. These actions will also gain the client’s trust in the therapist as his or her new parent. Once the ideal level of closeness is achieved, the therapist can finally proceed to providing the messages that reform the client’s negative way of thinking by lecturing, entering discussions, or other forms of communication appropriate in a parent-child relationship.

during treatment. As a result, there is risk of the therapist becoming too extreme in their methods, which can endanger the client and lead to new psychological problems. Due to the dominant role of the therapist in the relationship, the therapist has greater power over the client. Therapist may abuse this authority and exploit the client. There is also risk toward the therapist in that he or she may become too attached to the client, which can hinder professional judgement.

vulnerable to new experiences, the child ego state. Once the client is in the child ego state, the therapist traditionally adopts the role as the client’s new parent and attempts to correctly reparent the client. The nature of reparenting by the therapist should be more positive and influence the client into adopting a healthier parent ego state, which ultimately negates the psychological problems the client may have experienced before reparenting therapy.

Reparenting was then used to counteract the negative influence of the patient's mother's parenting style. According to the patient, the therapy was a success, and she now lives with more confidence in her image as suggested by her therapist's reparenting.

The results show that the subjects going through reparenting treatment at the
Cathexis and Lafayette Institute had a mean tryptophan reuptake of 3.32 and 3.75 respectively. The control group had a group mean of 2.13. The numbers show that subjects that received reparenting had significantly higher tryptophan reuptake at the end of the experiment.

Self-reparenting was developed by Muriel James. Unlike prior forms of reparenting, James's form of reparenting did not attempt to totally replace the parent ego state of the client. Instead, the therapy confirms the positive aspects already apparent in the client's ego. The client is also the primary

This problem is especially true for total regression reparenting. Clients in therapy are totally immersed in an environment that promotes regression into the child ego state.

Cathexis Institute, a group going through separate treatment at the Lafayette Institute, and a control group that did not receive reparenting treatment.

There is no way to objectively determine the success in completely replacing the client’s parent ego state after reparenting therapy. The therapist can only rely on the client’s subjective statement, which may conflict with the therapist’s account of the results. This conflicts leads to questioning

The nature of reparenting often requires the therapist to develop a close relationship with the client. There is no protocol to provide the boundary as to what the therapist can or cannot do. Many a times, it is up to the therapist to determine the plan of action to take when faced with a dilemma

Spot reparenting was developed by
Russell Osnes. In addition to also being less time intensive than Schiff’s total regression reparenting, Osnes's form of reparenting focuses more on patients traumatized by specific experiences and incidents rather than by general disturbances in childhood.

Due to the wide varying forms of reparenting, each therapist may adopt different methods when treating clients. However, the mechanism that underlie the theory of reparenting is generally agreed upon. Typically, reparenting starts with the regression of the client to the child ego state. The
