The contribution of family therapy models to the treatment of Black families.

Culture and racial or ethnic background are important variables to consider when conceptualizing families and resilience. Working effectively with Black families requires culturally competent interventions that honor and build upon their strengths and give attention to the intricate dynamics of relationships. This paper offers an examination of the unique stressors and adversity experienced by Black families as well as factors influencing their adaptive functioning. Enriched structural family therapy (ESFT), a versatile, skill-based, systems approach, is introduced as a viable model to promote resilience in Black families. Through ESFT interventions, Black families are able to successfully manage and cope with stressors while improving overall functioning.

The Incredible Years

Bei der Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit aggressivem Verhalten ist in den vergangenen Jahren vor allem im englischsprachigen Ausland ein Trend zum Einsatz evidenzbasierter psychotherapeutischer Interventionen zu verzeichnen. In diesem Beitrag werden–getrennt für Kindes- und Jugendalter–die am besten evaluierten Therapieprogramme (u. a. Multisystemic Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, The Incredible Years) für diese Indikation dargestellt. Es werden aktuelle Fragen der Implementation und Disseminierung evidenzbasierter Interventionen für aggressive Kinder und Jugendliche diskutiert (z. B. Qualitätssicherung, Therapietreue). Abschließend werden Perspektiven für eine Implementation evidenzbasierter Interventionen in Deutschland aufgezeigt.
