Abstract
The increase in Central American refugee families poses new challenges for clinicians. Family therapy interventions are appropriate as determined by the particular family and their presenting problems. Symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, loss, and grief may necessitate a crisis-oriented intervention initially. The illegal status of the family is an ever-present reality during the treatment and accentuates confidentiality issues. This requires the clinician to offer both empathy as well as concrete, present-oriented support. A family treatment case is presented and recommendations for treatment are discussed.
