Guilford Publications Treating Troubled Children and Their Families
Integrating systemic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, this acclaimed book presents an innovative framework for therapeutic work. Ellen Wachtel shows how parents and children all too often get entangled in patterns that cause grief to both generations, and demonstrates how to help bring about change with a combination of family-focused and child-focused interventions.

The paperback edition features a new preface in which the author reflects on the continuing evolution of her approach.
