| Sumario: | In this paper the authors present an approach, which is informed by self psychology and intersubjectivity theory, to working with parents of children who have learning disabilities (LD) and behavior problems. Children with LD are at risk of developing behavior problems. Effective intervention with the children's parents must be based on knowledge of the interplay of contributing cognitive and experiential factors. This knowledge allow therapists and parents to develop informed empathy in relation to the children's experience and to implement effective management strategies. The approach emphasizes the empathy that the therapist conveys to the parents which fosters greater understanding by the parents of their children. |
