TopProgram Overview
Parenting With Love and Limits is a group and family therapy program for adolescents with the primary diagnosis of oppositional defiant or conduct disorder and their parents. The program involves six group sessions with all families meeting together and then parents and adolescents meeting separately. Additionally, families meet for a minimum of three individual family therapy sessions, and more depending on the severity of the adolescents' disorder. The program is designed to provide parents with tools and techniques to reestablish their ability to determine rules and restore nurturance to the parent-child relationship.
