Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The system approach involves involving the entire family in therapy and addressing the family dynamics that may be contributing to the child's behavior. In this case, bringing in Josh's siblings suggests that the psychologist is taking a family approach to therapy. Social skills training may be useful in addressing the biting behavior, but involving the family is likely to be more effective. Flooding and reflection are not appropriate techniques for addressing this specific behavior.
