ABSTRACT This paper argues that parent work should occupy a more central place in the work of child psychotherapists, as it fosters an increase in parents' skill, insight and growth in the service of their offspring. Parent work is also crucial in strengthening the alliance with the therapist who sees the child or young person. The capacity to offer parents psycho-education, respectful challenge, empathy and support at a deeper level than is currently possible is likely to be cost effective, even though it may require more clinical hours devoted to the carer/s. Clinical time can be saved by the opportunity to engage in preventative work, briefer work and potentially more secure and enduring outcomes with the child.

促进父母成长和加强治疗联盟：儿童心理治疗师的关键任务

摘要 本文认为，父母的工作应该在儿童心理治疗师的工作中占据更重要的位置，因为它可以促进父母在服务后代方面的技能、洞察力和成长。家长的工作对于加强与看望儿童或年轻人的治疗师的联盟也至关重要。在比目前可能的更深层次上为父母提供心理教育、尊重挑战、同理心和支持的能力可能具有成本效益，即使这可能需要更多的临床时间用于照顾者。有机会参与预防性工作、更简短的工作以及可能与孩子一起获得更安全和持久的结果，可以节省临床时间。
