First sentence: Child treatment is treatment of the family.
Description: Caring for the child involves caring for the family members as well. By forming an alliance with all members of the family, the therapist is in a position to strengthen and enhance the ties between child, parents, and family during all phases of assessment and treatment, leading to a more effective therapeutic intervention. Sharing Care offers a model that will help clinicians achieve this alliance.
