Overview

Psychologist and family therapist Marcia Stern presents a playful and creative family-centered treatment for today's kids. She uses a biopsychosocial perspective to provide a framework for intervention not only across several therapeutic domains, but also across home and school environments.
The therapy described here helps the family understand the child's difficulties from multiple perspectives and leads to fresh understandings of often-misunderstood children. Family members work as a team, strategizing and collaborating in a child-friendly, systemically informed treatment. Action-oriented techniques engage the family through right-brain learning, and include visual imagery, metaphor, and imaginative play.
