The author, an educational psychologist herself, demonstrates how the educational psychologist can, in her efforts to help children who are failing in mainstream education, incorporate an understanding of family processes into her work with the child and his family. This integrative approach is also applied to the other systemthe schoolto which the child belongs, and to the interrelationship between different professionals.
