ABSTRACT
There has been a long-standing appreciation in child and adolescent psychiatry for the influence of the family or caregiver. In clinical practice, parents are routinely identified as both a key biological and a key environmental figure in child psychopathology. This is perhaps best represented by the identified patient construct, which recognizes that while symptoms in a child are often the explicit driver for a family to present for psychiatric care, these symptoms do not occur in a vacuum. Instead, within a family systems theory framework, the manifestation of symptoms in a child represents the broader reciprocal relationship between a child and their family unit.
