Three different models of therapy, involving individual, marital, and family sessions, were employed for helping a child with a tic disorder. The therapist attended to dysfunctional communication patterns through the MRI interactional model, Bowen’s family systems model, and Minuchin’s structural family therapy model. The researcher, drawing on Miles and Huberman’s matrix and network, used grounded theory to code the qualitative data. The resolution of the child’s problems in this case study was related to the repair of the marital relationship and one of the parents becoming more flexible, more functionally communicative, and less abusive.
