The focus of this workshop is the role that the family structure plays in shaping children’s development of social-emotional competencies and their response to treatment. Enmeshment is one of four structural patterns associated with serious emotional disturbance. Enmeshment is often subtle and very difficult for clinicians to see. When it is missed and not addressed, children and adolescents may not be as responsive to standard interventions. This workshop describes the characteristics of enmeshment. Treatment guidelines are highlighted, as well as common clinical traps therapists are likely to encounter when working with enmeshed relational patters.

- Explain how enmeshed relationship patterns shape children’s social-emotional competencies
