This article focuses on the principles used in working with families where a child or parent is dying. Case reviews show how family therapy can help families cope in such situations, particularly when there are disagreements, divorced parents, barriers to communication, interference and feelings of powerlessness and despair.

Key Words: attitude to death • case reports • children • counselling • family relationships • family therapy
