Participants completed the working alliance inventory and treatment outcomes were monitored. Methodological implications and relevance of this observational research project are discussed.

In keeping with new narrative metaphors in the family therapy field and new epistemological approaches to clinical interaction, literature as a paradigm for qualitative inquiry and evaluation is discussed. Description of a research project that explores how fictional literature can be integrated into graduate programs reveals a multi-layered, aesthetic approach to family therapy research and training as well as the design of project-specific methodology (Chenail, 1992a).

Behaviour Modification

Behaviour Modification, in theory, may appear to be a straight forward method of enabling patients to improve those standards of behaviour which are unacceptable to others and in reality to themselves. In practice this requires a great deal of multi-disciplinary effort. The author describes a three-year project comparing the relative effectiveness of the reinforcement of desired behaviour by token economy and by social reinforcement.

The Family

This chapter provides an overview of the first family therapy session. It describes how to introduce families to the PFIT program and to develop a collaborative environment for establishing treatment goals. It describes psychoeducation about the role of the family in child OCD treatment, including family responses and expectations that may undermine success. It places particular emphasis on helping families to understand patterns of symptom accommodation that may be a barrier to treatment success, and it describes broader family dynamics that may interfere with efforts to change accommodation. The chapter also outlines steps for assessing current family functioning, including strengths and weakness, and for evaluating the family’s current strategies for managing OCD. Initial skills training begins with exercises designed to promote positivity in the home environment.

Long Time

This work is included in a wider research project started on 2003 with autistic patients and their families. In this context we'll just expose treatments about families where the child diagnosed as autistic has an age between 3 and 18 years. The restriction of the group is given by the choice of displaying similar situations where children are living with their families and attend school in an integrated way. So we present a psychotherapeutic method which is totally similar to that usually used by the authors when the patient is a child. The approaching way as well, already experimented for a long time by the authors and proposed in other writings, here sheds light upon its amazing efficiency within family therapy, especially with patients who are neglected by systemic therapists, because they are children and above all because they are non-speaking children.

Psychiatric Profession

AbstractThe reception of family therapy into a psychiatric profession that during the 50s was inclined to sanctify the individual psyche rather than the system inevitably polarized the profession. Psychiatrists contribute a significant referral imput to family therapy services in public health settings and therefore their knowledge of and disposition towards family therapy are influential elements of the context within which family therapy is practised, (i) This paper, through the use of a questionnaire, addresses qualitatively the prevailing attitudes and conceptualizations of psychiatrists working in the Eastern Health Board, Ireland, regarding family therapy, (ii) It looks at these opinions in the context of recent research findings on the efficacy of family therapy and highlights a famine of concise information regarding specific family treatment modalities, (iii) Finally it looks at the difficult relationship that exists between the old and the new epistemologies, which may be termed the ‘conservative and the impetuous’, and the implications for legitimate research into family therapy in the context of a consumerist-driven health service and at the interface of conflicting ideologies.
