Abstract
Psychotherapy with children and families consists of a variety of theoretical approaches and techniques in various forms and constellations, most of which include the child, the child’s family, and the broader social and cultural context in which the child exists. Over the years, several theoretical approaches have been espoused; collectively, they weave a rich tapestry that reflects the evolution of child psychotherapy. These theoretical approaches, along with a host of practical realities that are present when working with children, have guided the development of the field of child psychotherapy as it is practiced at this time.
