from Part I - Theoretical Perspectives on Family-Based Intervention
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 February 2021
Child and adolescent mental health is understood to be highly embedded in the family system, particularly the parent-child relationship. Indeed, models of risk pathways to psychopathology emphasize interactions and transactions between the family environment and individual differences at the child level, including gene-environment interplay. Therapist knowledge regarding the role of the family in these pathways is central to the clinical competencies involved in the evidence-based treatment of children and adolescents. This chapter provides an overview of current theory regarding family contributions to the major forms psychopathology seen among children and adolescents. Attention is given to key family and parenting variables as they are conceptualized in the current literature, the mechanisms by which these variables contribute to the emergence and maintenance of psychopathology and the origins and determinants of parenting.
