Abstract
Our concern with the split between psychiatry and family therapy has caused us to explore the kinds of cases where they could be used in concert. As a result of the experience in this case, we conclude that it behooves us, as family therapists concerned with the development of children, to think seriously about the effects our strategic prescriptions have on family members who are vulnerable because of their age. The use of two treatment modalities allowed the therapists to see the great distress their prescriptions inflicted on the child. This is not as easily observable when strategic family therapy is the only treatment.Keywords
