Family Counseling and the "FamilyMind" Idea

Don Elium is a marriage, family, and child counselor in private practice. Jeanne Elium has worked in child development, as a parent educator, and is most importantly the mother of a son and daughter. These two authors also wrote the RAISING A SON and RAISING A DAUGHTER books.Dealing with typical obstacles that all families face, the Eliums came up with a concept they call "FamilyMind," which will be of great interest to anyone working in the family counseling area.I found the greatest value in the chapter on "Conflict: An Opportunity for Intimacy," which presents a postitive way to use family conflict for the family's own benefit.
