Abstract

This paper looks at peer relationship problems in children and adolescents from a systemic point of view. The way in which family members typically become involved in these problems and the manner in which their involvement can contribute to maintenance of the difficulties, are discussed. The object of family intervention becomes to bring the child into direct positive relationship with peers whilst involving the family to support the child's initiative and independence, rather than the child's dependence on them, for solutions to problems. Six strategies which have been helpful to families are explained by way of illustration. The therapist's role in the process is also illustrated.
