| Summary: | Brief strategic family therapy (BSFT) is an evidence‑based intervention for diagnosing and correcting patterns of family<br> <br> interactions that are linked to distressing experiences and symptoms in children ages 6‑18. This clinical guide shows<br> <br> practitioners how to transform family interactions from conflictive to collaborative, from habitual to proactive, so that the love<br> <br> trapped behind the anger can flourish, and family members can re‑bond in loving and mutually caring relationships<br> <br> <br> <br> Readers of this book will learn how to engage families that are reluctant to become involved in family therapy, and structure a<br> <br> 12‑to 16‑week intervention that will effect powerful behavioral change. Therapists help adults learn to collaborate with one another to nurture, guide, and handle misbehavior among children and teens.<br> <br> <br> <br> Dozens of detailed clinical examples show practitioners how to navigate family complexities, and how to work through the challenging decision points they present. |
