Abstract
Many therapists in Community Health Centres work with children and families but lack training and experience in resolving child/family problems. Inexperienced therapists often find the family therapy models described in the literature too complex. This paper describes a simplified view of family survival functions and a related problem-oriented intervention technique evolved for the training and supervision of community health workers
