Treatment of an Abused Preadolescent and the Role of Parental Self-reporting
Abstract
This report describes treatment strategies used in the case of child physical abuse. It especially focuses on the strategy of encouraging the parents to report themselves to the Bureau of Child Welfare (B.C. W.). In so doing, the sense of therapeutic alliance, self-esteem, and re-establishment of appropriate parent-child relationships were enhanced. Furthermore, this flexible therapeutic design resulted in the beginning of successful treatment of this family’s maladaptive interactions.
