Evidence-Informed Interventions for Court-Involved Families provides a critical, research-informed analysis of the core factors to consider when developing child-centered approaches to therapy and other family interventions, both in formal treatment settings and in promoting healthy engagement with the other systems and activities critical to children's daily lives. Addressing common problems, obstacles, and the backdrop of support needed from other professionals or the court, an international team of experts provide chapters covering a variety of service models and drawing on a wealth of relevant research on the legal context, central issues for treatment and other services, and specialized issues such as trauma, family violence, parent-child contact problems, and children with special needs. Offering extensive practical guidance for applying research, understanding its limitations, and matching service plans to families' needs, this book will be an essential resource for all mental health professionals evaluating or providing services to these families, and to the lawyers and judges seeking a better understanding of what works.
Family psychodynamics and interventions have ever been the square peg striving to fit in the round hole of the legal system. This book will be a boon to the family law judge who, required to do the right thing, is bound by the rules of evidence and the rule of law. These are often not amenable to ascertaining and fixing relationship problems that lie at the hearts of children and families of divorce. The authors employ evidentiary nexes to narrow the gap between our disciplines and provide specific tools to benefit families of divorce, equip family law professionals, and enlighten the finder of fact, that is, the family law judicial officer. * Judge Isabel R. Cohen (Retired) *
This is a superb and long awaited book. Treatment in the context of court involvement can buoy families in crisis, but the challenges of this work can thwart even seasoned therapists. In response, Greenberg, Fidler and Saini have gifted the field with this authoritative volume that provides readers with expert guidance and practical insight into how to make treatment work, how to mitigate risk, and how to think clinically at times of legal complexity. * Abigail M. Judge, PhD, Harvard Medical School *
This impressive volume brings together the voices of those professionals whose shared commitment to child-centered, systemically-informed, and data-driven assessment and intervention is shaping our field. I strongly recommend that every family law professional make Evidence-Informed Interventions for Court-Involved Families their go-to reference, road map and guidebook in all child-centered, court-involved matters. * Benjamin D. Garber, PhD, Family Law Consulting, PLLC *
The latest evidence and innovations in family court intervention written by an all-star collection of authors. This book belongs on the shelf of every family court professional. * Robert E. Emery, PhD, Center for Children, Families, and the Law, Department of Psychology, University of Virginia *
