In this presentation Dr. Hariton will provide a brief historical overview of how family intervention developed from its start in the child guidance movement to the present. She will provide indications for its use and highlight its efficacy.  She will also demonstrate the value of a multimodal approach, with flexibility being a key component.

Guidelines for family assessments will be presented as a prelude to the development of a treatment plan. When to see parents alone and how to include children of various ages in the session will be discussed. Issues involving confidentiality will be included as well as how to overcome obstacles to working with families.
