Different approaches to treatment of the child and the parents

The traditional approach of separate and individualized treatment of the child and parents is still practically the only approach used in many psychiatric clinics for children, in many other related agencies and in private practice. The authors challenge the validity of this state of affairs. Seven major treatment approaches and the criteria for their selective application—including the traditional ones—are described. The paper traces the historical development of the traditional approach and the current trends toward diversification. The authors' philosophy underlying the different approaches is outlined
