This paper describes a therapeutic model for working with children in the care system who have severe behavioural problems. The model is an extension of consultation work and was developed from clinical material. It links some of the theories about the internal conflicts of children to their family history and ways of consulting with the professional network, to give a coherent framework for action. The advantages and shortcomings of this model are discussed and some preliminary results are reported.
