The authors, who practice as child, adolescent, and adult psychoanalysts at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute, argue for strong parental involvement in child and adolescent therapy, noting
that restoring the relationship between parent and child contributes to long-lasting positive change. Using case studies from their clinical practice, they describe how making the parent a part
of the team affects the progress of therapy, giving practical procedures to make the experience beneficial therapeutically for all members of the family. They describe setting out working
conditions, working through phases of treatment, and getting to the post-termination stage, and include information on using the technique with individual treatment of adults. Annotation 穢2004
