ABSTRACT
This chapter presents five different types of case studies that are examples for engagement in therapy and successful rehabilitation. The different cases are The Smith Family, The Bevan Family, The Morris Family, The Knight Family, and The Wilson Family. In the first case the therapeutic assessment had revealed significant attachment problems with each of the children, exacerbated by the prolonged, enforced separation from the parents. In the second case, the therapeutic work moved fluidly between providing parenting skills and dealing with individual therapeutic issues related to the mother's past as they arose. The third case deals with the parents feelings of guilt and attempting to re-establish their relationships with the children became a central focus of the therapeutic work. In this supportive therapeutic context she began to blossom as an individual; her new-found self-esteem and confidence was increasingly apparent to other professionals who were involved in the case.
