This workshop will demonstrate how Reflective Network Therapy works for preschoolers as well as for children with trauma such as bereavement, domestic violence, sexual molestation, and for those diagnosed with ADD or oppositional defiant disorder. The method has been well tested with foster children, significantly reducing transfers among foster homes, as well as with homeless children in shelters. The method has also been used successfully with children not on the autism spectrum.
