The latest evidence and innovations in family court intervention written by an all-star collection of authors. This book belongs on the shelf of every family court professional. * Robert E. Emery, PhD, Center for Children, Families, and the Law, Department of Psychology, University of Virginia * This impressive volume brings together the voices of those professionals whose shared commitment to child-centered, systemically-informed, and data-driven assessment and intervention is shaping our field. I strongly recommend that every family law professional make Evidence-Informed Interventions for Court-Involved Families their go-to reference, road map and guidebook in all child-centered, court-involved matters. * Benjamin D. Garber, PhD, Family Law Consulting, PLLC * This is a superb and long awaited book. Treatment in the context of court involvement can buoy families in crisis, but the challenges of this work can thwart even seasoned therapists. In response, Greenberg, Fidler and Saini have gifted the field with this authoritative volume that provides readers with expert guidance and practical insight into how to make treatment work, how to mitigate risk, and how to think clinically at times of legal complexity. * Abigail M. Judge, PhD, Harvard Medical School *
