Children in Therapy : Using the Family as a Resource

Therapists now acknowledge that "it takes a family to heal a child".

But many still ask: How do we involve families in treatment?

Which family dynamics are associated with childhood disorders?

How can we mobilize families' emotional and relational resources?

Paying special attention to competency-based theories and interventions, the contributors to this book use case studies to answer these questions and teach therapists how to draw on the inherent strengths of children and families.
