Description: Child-Centered Family Therapy is the first complete, practical introduction to Child-Centered Structural Dynamic Therapy, a revolutionary short-term treatment model that has yielded nothing less than astonishing results in case after documented case.

Growing out of Dr. Andreozzi's pioneering work with more than 500 families, Child-Centered Structural Dynamic Therapy is a developmentally focused approach to family therapy that integrates child and family system development into a comprehensive framework for self-guided, family-initiated, and therapeutically induced change.

While family disturbance is clearly addressed, this model works with competence and strengths to address all three levels of family change: prevention, early intervention, and therapy. Unlike family training programs that attempt to teach abstract parenting skills, Child-Centered Structural Dynamic Therapy works to build knowledge from within the family by engaging family members in structured activities that help them to translate family system principles into practical, everyday reality.

. Introducing a dynamic new short-term, child-centered family therapy model, Child-Centered Family Therapy is an important resource for couples and family therapists, child psychologists, counselors, and social workers.
