%X This study focuses on the behavioral and emotional problems of children from single-parent families, taking an 8-year-old girl named Miao (pseudonym) as the research object. Based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and systemic family therapy theories, a targeted family therapy program was designed and implemented. The client exhibited emotional dysregulation, aggressive behaviors, and excessive mobile phone dependence due to family structure characteristics and inappropriate parenting styles. The therapy included three stages: relationship building, problem intervention, and effect consolidation, involving interventions with the client and key family members (father, grandparents). Through behavioral observation, semi-structured interviews, and self-report measures, the results showed that the clientĄ¯s emotional control ability was significantly improved, aggressive behaviors were reduced, and mobile phone dependence was alleviated. Family members also adjusted their parenting styles and increased emotional compan-ionship, effectively meeting the clientĄ¯s needs for love and belonging. This study provides practical reference for family therapy for children from single-parent families, while reflecting on the limitations of the intervention process.
