The inclusion of children in the process of family therapy

Laura Michael Johnson, Purdue University

Abstract

A strange paradox marks the question of the participation of children in the family therapeutic interview. The central importance of the question is self-evident; without engaging the children in a meaningful interchange across the generations, there can be no family therapy. And yet, in the daily practice of this form of treatment, difficulties in mobilizing the participation of children are a common experience. It is all the more surprising to realize, therefore, that there is not a single publication devoted to this special theme ... I feel a certain responsibility to confront the question and hope that others will do likewise.
