A parent's guide to child psychotherapy.: Parent counseling and psychotherapy. Many parents are puzzled when their child's psychotherapist suggests that they, too, could benefit from psychotherapy. In fact, often they are more than puzzled; they are resentful. They feel the therapist is accusing them, blaming them for causing the child's difficulties. This is far from the truth. Often the therapist is implying "you are contributing something to this problem and it would be wise, even essential for you to find out what it is and do something about it." But this is not an indictment of the parents. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

Many parents are puzzled when their child's psychotherapist suggests that they, too, could benefit from psychotherapy. In fact, often they are more than puzzled; they are resentful. They feel the therapist is accusing them, blaming them for causing the child's difficulties. This is far from the truth. Often the therapist is implying "you are contributing something to this problem and it would be wise, even essential for you to find out what it is and do something about it." But this is not an indictment of the parents. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
