Combined Child-Parent Model of Assessment & Therapeutic Communication

United Kingdom · CPD courses & CPD points · Health Professionals

Effective assessment and early therapeutic engagement are vital in child and family work. In this CPD session, clinical psychologist and author Dr. Ruth Schmidt Neven introduces a clear, relationally-focused framework for assessing and engaging both the child and their parents in the initial stages of therapy.

Using a combined child-parent model, Dr. Schmidt Neven outlines how to use the first two sessions to foster insight, model therapeutic communication, and begin building a meaningful therapeutic alliance that supports ongoing connection within the family system.

The talk includes an accompanying reading: Chapter 4: Practicalities of Therapeutic Communication from her seminal text, Core Principles of Assessment and Therapeutic Communication with Children, Parents and Families (Routledge, 2010)

• Learn how to structure the first two sessions for optimal therapeutic engagement.

• Gain strategies for modelling reflective capacity and insight in both children and parents.

• Enhance their therapeutic communication skills with families.

• Appreciate the practical application of theory to clinical practice with child-parent dyads.
