Mutual Support in Multifamily Therapy for Father Involvement and Family Communication in Chinese Adolescents with ADHD: A Qualitative Study

This qualitative study examined how mutual support in multifamily therapy promotes parental engagement and family communication quality among 14 Chinese families of adolescents with ADHD (ages 11-15). Findings indicate that a low-hierarchy therapist-client relationship facilitates peer support among families, which plays a key role in promoting acceptance and engagement despite cultural stigma concerns.
