Hello peer, I agree with you that Family involvement is the most powerful and

successful strategy available. Working with the whole family is the most effective strategy

for children who are engaged in high-risk activities such as drug abuse, misbehavior,

dropping out of high school, or adolescent pregnancy. I concur Earlier, group therapy had

failed to work for their family because Jimmy refused to go; however, though having all

family members there is essential and necessary, and Jimmy may be readily persuaded to

attend if the pain he feels in regard to his mother is effective. Lastly I agree According to the

authors, "Problems are regarded as the product of complex dynamics that characterize every

matrilineal society, rather than as the results of specific issues." (Mcwhirte, 2017)
