This paper reviews the clinical utility of family‐based treatment, comprised of multiple family therapy (MFT) and structural family therapy (SFT), in helping Hong Kong Chinese families of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The author identifies the psychosocial service needs of these families and examines the contributions of the adapted MFT and SFT in responding to the psychosocial service needs of these families. Critical issues for clinical practice and research are discussed.
