Most of the social work literature on counseling parents of the mentally retarded deals with the initial work around the diagnosis. This paper discusses the nature of problems for which parent counseling may be indicated subsequent to the period of diagnosis. Problem areas fall into four categories: Parent Expectations, Value Dilemmas, Life Transitions and Environmental Transactions. Practice issues are defined and discussed as these relate to the dual world realities faced by the parents, the slowness in learning and developmental progress of the retardate, the uncertainties inherent in the situation, and the pitfalls present in recurrent helping with inevitable crisis as these occur during the lifetime of the parents.
大多数关于为智障儿童家长提供咨询的社会工作文献都围绕诊断初期的工作展开。本文探讨了在诊断期之后可能需要为家长提供咨询的问题的性质。问题领域分为四类：家长期望、价值困境、生活转变和环境互动。文中定义并讨论了一些实践问题，这些问题涉及家长所面临的双重现实世界、智障儿童学习和发育进展的缓慢、情况中固有的不确定性，以及在家长一生中不可避免地出现危机时反复提供帮助所存在的陷阱。
