Functional Family Therapy Online

Empirically grounded, well-documented and highly successful family intervention program for dysfunctional youth
Applied to a wide range of at-risk youth aged 11-18 and their families, including youth with problems such as conduct disorder, violent acting-out, and substance abuse
Intervention ranges from, on average, 8 to 12 one-hour sessions up to 30 sessions of direct service for more difficult situations
Conducted both in clinic settings as an outpatient therapy and as a home-based model
A treatment technique that is appealing because of its clear identification of specific phases, which organize intervention in a coherent manner, thereby allowing clinicians to maintain focus in the context of considerable family and individual disruption
Each phase includes specific goals, assessment foci, specific techniques of intervention, and therapist skills necessary for success
