This work is the result of the work of Kerry Kelly Novick and Jack Novick over several decades, in which parents are integrated into teamwork in therapy with children.

The role of parents in the treatment of a child is a topic of vital importance in the therapy of children and adolescents. However, it is an issue that has hardly been deepened and there is no defined model with which to carry out this task.

The different sections of the book correspond to each of the phases of the therapeutic process. The tasks of the therapeutic alliance of the different parties involved in the process - son, parents and therapist - are described, as well as the anxieties aroused and the mechanisms used to counteract them. Likewise, Work with parents and therapy with children focuses on primary parental love as one of the elements that allows both the child and the parents to be restored in a mutually rewarding development trajectory.
