- Authors
McNeil, Cheryl B.; Herschell, Amy D.
- Abstract
The article cites a study, which offers advice on how family therapists can treat multi-problem and high-stress families. The article also makes aware of the family therapy scenario. The article discusses some of the treatment strategies that therapists have been trying. Some of these strategies seem to be working while others have been minimally successful at best. Ironically, multi-problem, high-stress families are commonly seen in mental health agencies, but therapists have little information on how to make treatment effective for the families. The article suggests that this complex issue deserves additional attention. In this context, the article also reflects on some of the article written by E.W. Lindsey and P.A. Fisher. The article also provide empirical support for the types of problems that clinicians deal with each day, and they confirm, or lend support, to our clinical intuitions. Further, these articles are helpful because they alerts to the fact that people have a long way to go in developing effective programs for high stressed families.
