title: Family intervention for beginners: a rationale for a brief problem-oriented approach in child and family psychiatry.
abstract: Many therapists in Community Health Centers work with children and families but lack training and experience in resolving child/family problems. Inexperienced therapists often find the family therapy models described in the literature too complex. This paper desccribes a simplified view of family survival functions and a related problem-oriented intervention technique evolved for the training and supervision of community health workers.
