The authors describe the parent-therapist program, an innovative alternative to residential treatment for emotionally disturbed children. In the program, which is based on the extended family model, couples not only provide a residential milieu for a child placed with them, but also are trained to be therapists who can deal with specific emotional and behavioral problems. The parent-therapists work together in three treatment teams, each consisting of five couples. Education and supervision are ongoing. A total of 27 children have been treated in the program since it got under way in May 1972. Clinical impressions indicate that the children have made substantial gains in developing social and interpersonal skills and in their academic acievement.
作者们描述了亲子治疗师项目，这是一种针对情绪困扰儿童的创新型住院治疗替代方案。在这个基于大家庭模式的项目中，夫妻不仅为安置在他们那里的孩子提供居住环境，还接受培训成为能够处理特定情绪和行为问题的治疗师。亲子治疗师们分成三个治疗小组共同工作，每个小组由五对夫妻组成。教育和监督工作持续进行。自1972年5月该项目启动以来，共有27名儿童接受了治疗。临床观察表明，这些儿童在社交和人际交往技能的发展以及学业成绩方面都取得了显著进步。
