About the Book
Drag to resize
In 2020 a retrospective study was undertaken examining 27 years of family sessions conducted at the BEBA Family Clinic in California. Co-directors Ray Castellino, DC and Tara Blasco, PhD assembled a team of researchers who designed an online quantitative survey that could be followed by a qualitative interview. This book describes the study, introduces both principles and practices utilized at the Clinic, and presents decades of research supporting the concepts underlying the organization’s philosophy. This information is intended to inform both the public and family care professionals who would like to incorporate child-centered care into their families and/or programs. The results of the study are evidence of the profound healing effects that can benefit families in tangible, long lasting and at times astonishing ways. Parents can learn to slow down, listen and be present to the natural healing that is waiting to take place when children are acknowledged for their inherent wisdom.

This quantitative survey and qualitative interviews revealed what clients thought about the support they received. It is our honor to share the BEBA Clinic’s success story, outlining its principles and practices and the results of the Study.
