I, too, counsel multiple issues with "crisis families." The issue I find most difficult to deal with is when the parents think it's your job to "fix" their kids and won't let you go, despite the child functioning well and not wanting services. Or, the flip side, when kids don't want services, parents do, and they are functioning poorly. How do you cope with these situations?
