Abstract
Having parents and their children meet together to share information, address common concerns or develop supportive networks can be an efficient, effective means of providing child and family mental health services. This article will provide a description of a multiple family therapy group (MFTG) developed to meet the needs of inner city children and their families. The structure of a multiple family group aimed at addressing a range of child behavioral difficulties will be described. Case examples will highlight the potential clinical benefits of such groups for children and their families. Obstacles that group facilitators must confront will also be identified.
