Synopses & Reviews
The therapy described here helps the family understand the child's difficulties from multiple perspectives and leads to fresh understandings of often-misunderstood children. Family members work as a team, strategizing and collaborating in a child-friendly, systemically informed treatment. Action-oriented techniques engage the family through right-brain learning, and include visual imagery, metaphor, and imaginative play.
