Course Description
This is the sister course of Revolving Door Families: The Issues and Clinical Concerns from a Bio-psychosocial perspective. Both courses assist therapists in treating families with impaired and underachieving adults. Much of the material is easily translated into situations involving adolescents. This course can stand on its own, but we recommend that the reader take both courses unless he or she is familiar with the issues of these families and the various roles that a therapist might play in these potentially complicated cases. The sister course goes into depth concerning the issues that these families grapple with, and the sources and types of problems of impaired adults. It also addresses the fundamental legal and ethical issues pertaining to therapists' potential roles with these families.
Topics and focus: This course provides detailed treatment of assessment, treatment issues, and guidelines for working with revolving door families. It emphasis psychosocial education and a programmatic approach to negotiation between the parents and their adult child.

These purposes include: 1) preserving the parents physical, emotional, and financial well being in the course of their relationship with their adult child; 2) supporting any efforts to help the adult child become more independent or less self-destructive, and 3) creating a harmonious and functional situation in the parents' home when the adult child is living with them.
