Course overview

Working with children and adolescents often requires navigating complex interactions with parents. While parents can provide essential insight and support, they may also become intrusive or undermine the therapeutic relationship. This presentation will review best practices for managing parent-clinician dynamics, with a focus on ethical and legal considerations, setting clear boundaries, and maintaining a strong therapeutic alliance with the child or adolescent client.
