Grandparents raising grandchildren in the absence of the grandchildren’s biological parents are responsible for the emotional, social, and financial wellbeing of 1.35 million children in the United States (Woodworth, 1996). These custodial grandparents, while providing their grandchildren with a sense of continuity, stability, and security (O’Reilly & Morrison, 1993), often do so at serious emotional, physical, and financial cost to themselves (Pinson-Millburn, Fabian, Schlossberg, & Pyle, 1996). The prevalence and population of grandparents raising grandchildren and identified problem– and treatment–focus areas for them are described through a review of the literature. Research into specific treatment modalities for these family constellations is significantly lacking. Narrative family therapy is suggested as a viable clinical intervention for this group.
