Support Systems That Disempower Welfare Families
Description
This video with Dr. Salvador Minuchin presents segments from three cases involving families who were receiving social services provided by government agencies. The segments show how the entrance of well meaning helpers into these families serves to disempower rather than empower the parents, and further disrupts the effective functioning of the family unit.
