Abstract
A critical question in considering family therapy is whether the family members have the necessary emotional and cognitive resources to bring the desired changes. Some families of handicapped children face enormous difficulties in performing discussed changes when their only support is the weekly sessions. Some learning disabled children need additional ego support in the therapy. A project of reaching out strategies as an extension of the family therapy is a pattern that was tried with five families after the regular practices of counseling and therapy had failed.Keywords
