ABSTRACT
Child guidance is commonly associated with the team approach to family problems which have as their presenting symptom some distress of which the child is the manifest cause. Over the course of years I have come to make use of the team personnel in a special manner which seems worth recording in outline because, whilst recognizing the value of each member of the team, I have come to think that the usual method of handling the first interview by deploying all members of the team is unsatisfactory.
