Strengthening The Parent-Child Relationship In Therapy

The most important thing a psychologist can do to foster a child?s well?being is to help build a healthy, effective parent?child relationship. The relationship between a child and their primary caregiver(s) is the cornerstone of child development. Interactions in early childhood initiate a developmental cascade that impacts an individual’s functioning throughout childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood. This book integrates the basic and applied literature with the concrete, evidence?based strategies and empirically-supported interventions mental health providers need to help build and strengthen the parent?child relationship.
