ABSTRACT

This chapter describes a seven-step procedure that can be used by School-Based Family Counseling (SBFC) practitioners who are interested in integrating conjoint family counseling processes within a school context. Understanding the importance of conjoint family counseling and being able to incorporate it into one’s counseling practice is an essential part of being an SBFC practitioner. Though the reader will need experience in family therapy before implementing the process described in this chapter, the procedure described will assist trained mental health practitioners with the challenging task of applying conjoint family counseling to a school setting.
