Register to read the introduction…

The positive benefit of using different interventions is that there is no one solution to deal with children who suffer from PSUD. In fact, there are several evidence-based family approaches that demonstrate superiority over individual or family-based treatments (Baldwin, Christian, Berkeljon, & Shandish, 2012). According to Lander, Howare, and Bryne (2013) treating the individual without family involvement may limit the effectiveness of treatment for two main reasons: it ignores the devastating impact of PSUD on the family system leaving family members untreated, and it does not recognize the family as a potential system of support for change.

  • Norman Garmezy's Theoretical Framework For Resiliency

    1121 Words  | 5 Pages

    In 1991 Norman Garmezy developed a theoretical framework for resiliency. Garmezy (1991) proposed three types of protective factors that make up his theoretical framework, which includes individual characteristics of the individual, a close-knit relationship with the family and lastly, social support and structure outside their immediate family. The primary factor in developing resiliency relates to the person's intelligence and character, and Garmezy (1991) states that resilient youth have above average intelligence. Garmezy (1991) defines the second factor in developing resiliency as one that includes the support of family to help with difficult conditions. The third common factor of resilient youth is external support from institutions (Garmezy, 1991).
