This article is based on a qualitative study of the relationships between professionals, parents and children in the context of children’s therapy after child sexual abuse. Specifically, the study took place in a therapeutic team in England that has developed various ways of involving parents in children’s therapy.

Involving non-offending parents in therapeutic work with their sexually abused children may be important in promoting successful outcomes. It is argued that the perceived benefits of some of the approaches under review may be used flexibly, and in combination, to make significant advances in practice.
