'What Doesn't the Problem Know About Your Son or Daughter?' Providing the Conditions for the Restoration of a Family's Dignity

This paper looks at the effects of Problems in the lives of children and young people, and also why Problems, by definition, have a 'limited scope of interest', and therefore can never reflect the richness of young people's lives. The authors offer a range of ways that Problems can be directly responded to, including informing them of children's and young people's 'wonderfulnesses'. Several examples of therapeutic documents intended to provide a full disclosure of such 'wonderfulnesses' are provided.
