Client-centered approaches to working with the family: An overview of new developments in therapeutic,educational, and preventive methods

Abstract

The client-centered movement has made significant contributions to our understanding of psychotherapy. Recently, with the increased interest in family therapy, a number of family interventions have been developed by workers operating from a client-centered perspective. This trend was noted as one receiving increasing emphasis in a recent review of new directions in the marital and family intervention field (Olson, 1976).
