Widener Alumni Profile - Brad Barry '85G
COMMUNITY BASED FAMILY THERAPY - Michael A. Graziano, M.Ed., LMFT
The last fifteen years have seen major shifts in the clinical approaches to child
and adolescent mental and behavioral health problems. The identification and naming
of mental health disorders specific to Children and Youth, such as ADHD, Oppositional
Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder, have brought new and sometimes controversial
methodologies into the treatment of these conditions. Psychotropic medications, antidepressants,
and various behavior-based methodologies have taken their place alongside of traditional
types of mental health treatment, such as play therapy and psychotherapy, as commonly
considered treatments for child and adolescent problems. In severe cases, psychiatric
hospitalization and long-term residential care are well-known and still often used
interventions.

off, the natural inclination is to find fault. We search for the "black box"
— the evidence of what went wrong. While there are undoubtedly many factors that
might have changed the outcome of April 16, there is an underlying issue that can't
be ignored.

Child Guidance Center operates in its new home at old Mercy site
HAVERFORD TWP. - They moved in four months ago - late December of last year - and
the official ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Congressman Curt Weldon won't happen
