Abstract
Reframing, designed to effect modification of the individual's frame of reference (J. Schiff), incorporates the reparenting approach of J. Schiff, and the redecision approach of the Gouldings. Specific steps of the reparenting approach and of the redecision approach are identified. Guidelines for the employment of reparenting and redecision within the reframing context are included. Examples of both the effective application and the non-effective application of reframing are provided.
