Inclusion criteria: For this pilot study we will include families with 1. adolescents aged 12-18 years (the so called 'identified' patient), and 2. families coping with mild problems. Exclusion criteria: The latter means that we will exclude: 1. blended families because of the more complex loyalties that exist between children and stepparents, 2. families of which individual members cope with serious trauma such as sexual and physical abuse and severe neglect, and 3. families of which the parents or children are diagnosed with severe DSM disorders (substance abuse or psychosis).
