In this talk, Dr. Ruth Schmidt-Neven gives a clear model for assessing a child and their parents for therapy. She outlines how to use the first two sessions to facilitate and model insight and self-reflection. The focus of this model is to create ongoing connection between the child and their parents.
This talk includes a reading, a chapter from the book ‘Chapter 4 Practicalities of therapeutic communication: how to continue, In: Schmidt Neven, R. (2010) Core Principles of Assessment and Therapeutic Communication with Children, Parents and Families. Routledge: Taylor&Francis Group: London and New York.’
