Parents Are Our Other Client: Ideas for Therapists, Social Workers, Support Workers, and Teachers

How therapists work with children’s biological, adoptive, or foster parents can ultimately determine the outcome of a child’s therapy. Therapists, social workers, and counselors should read The Other Client if they are looking to be more effective in their work with parents. The reader will learn how to recognize a parent’s attachment pattern, how that has affected how they relate to their children, and how insecure attachment patterns can be shifted. Special attention is given to the role of fathers and the challenge of working with them. Case studies and practical examples make this book both readable and practical.
