My first thought on this was "Why not parents-children too?"
........ then I saw the last bit on page 2. Great idea!
I see a lot of adolescents referred as "the problem" and designated focus
of therapy, where it turns out that the drinking/drugging parents are
just pointing their finger away from themselves. If one makes progress
with the kid, all of a sudden the parents yank them out of therapy.......
ever wonder why?
With the suggestion below, maybe someone would like to
venture a new strategy?
