Abstract:
Families are the context for development. One key way families influence developing children is through family experience, which becomes part of the child's inner world. It is through this cognitive template that the child interprets the world and negotiates developmental challenges. This article reviews a continuum of family interventions targeting interactions that shape the child's mind, and offers guidance to the clinician about when to use individual and family approaches.
