Definition
- Family counseling is a form of intervention that occurs when the problematic behavior of an individual child is treated therapeutically in the context of the family. Family counseling is a time-limited intervention that includes the assessment of the problem and the development and implementation of strategies to create change not only in the child, but also in the family that has shaped and supported the maladaptive behavior of the child.
