摘要

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a collaborative endeavor, accomplished with the willing partnership of client and with therapist as a guide or coach (Friedberg & McClure, Clinical practice of cognitive therapy with children and adolescents; the nuts and bolts. Guilford, NY, 2015). In the case of CBT with children and teens, the collaboration may only be successful if families and other adults involved in the life of the child or teen are actively included in the process. While there are some universal issues in child and family CBT, there are also those unique to specific family types and cultures. In working with Jewish families understanding the centrality of family in Jewish thought and practice, consideration of stigma and the demands of the Jewish calendar are among those that should inform CBT. This chapter explores the role of families through the three phases of treatment Patriarca et al. (2022) identify, psychoeducation, application, and relapse prevention, and discusses the unique needs of Jewish families while offering case examples and helpful tips for therapists.
