effective in drawing families closer together and yielding improved
outcomes. This remarkably supportive approach helps young people
develop critical skills necessary to live a fulfilling and

the interventions with ease and exemplifies the deeply gratifying
experience of FBT."--Stephen A. Culp, MEd, NCC, LPCC,
