摘要:

A sample of 100 families measured on ten dimensions of their social environments was subjected to cluster analysis to develop an empirically based taxonomy of families. Six distinctive clusters of families were identified: Expression‐Oriented, Structure‐Oriented, Independence‐Oriented, Achievement‐Oriented, Moral/Religious‐Oriented and Conflict‐Oriented. The clusters showed systematic differences in background characteristics such as size, ethnic minority composition, drinking patterns, and family disturbance and incongruence. Some evidence that certain clusters of families are composed of different sub‐clusters was presented. An empirically derived taxonomy of the social environments of families may help to understand how different family environments are linked to different fa

摘要:

A family‐therapy training program, one of three main branches of the “Boston model,” is described in detail. Salient features of the program include planned integration of a multiplicity of experiential and cognitive learning modes; grounding in a unified, theoretical framework that is neither eclectic nor limited to a single school of thought; focus on nonpathological process in families; and systematic structuring in terms of specific, articulated, training objectives. The goal‐directed design process by which training units are developed is ex

摘要:

A family‐systems model of depression is presented and discussed. In this model, the intrapsychic concept of cognitive schema and the interpersonal concepts of social stimulation and social reinforcement are integrated within a systems‐theory perspective. The effects of positive and negative feedback are delineated, and a concept of depression‐triggering and depression‐maintaining feedback loops is described. A clinical illustration is utilized to exemplify the theoretica

摘要:

The family characteristics associated with the presence of recurrent abdominal pain are identified. The involvement of the pediatrician and the effects of this involvement on the patient, family, and perpetuation of the symptoms are described. A successful therapeutic program combining behavior modification and family therapy is elaborated. Changes in the structure and functioning of the family are vital to the outcome of therapy and the prevention of recurrence of symptoms.

摘要:

This paper reports a study that investigated the areas of stress, support, and coping, using the structural model of the social network. The social network model is borrowed from sociology and anthropology and is used to describe and quantify not only an individual's immediate family but also all of those with whom the individual has regular contact. By comparing the networks of a sample of “normal” and schizophrenic males, it was possible to identify differences in their relationships to their social networks, in the make‐up of the networks themselves, and in the coping styles and recent histories of the subjects. The results suggest, first, that the network model can be used to investigate the larger social system with which individuals interact and, second, that it may be a valuable approach to the expansion of family res

摘要:

In recent years the consultation‐demonstration interview, in which a family is interviewed before a workshop, has become increasingly prevalent. While this method of presenting the therapist's style of interviewing can be an exciting and valuable learning experience, it can also lead to a sense of boredom and disappointment. In some instances, the experience can be traumatic, especially for the family and the guest therapist. Common pitfalls in the organization and planning of the interview are explored, and a number of specific recommendations are made for attempting to maximize the potential in this interview process. Written to both the planner and the leader of the workshop in family therapy, this paper is based on the author's personal experienc

摘要:

Two general factors have been singled out as being held in common by all types of psychotherapy: an educational, rational factor (often called “content”) and a factor operative in the relationship between the therapist and his patient (often called “process”). In the field of family therapy, the non‐educational aspects of intervention are sometimes presented in the form of “therapeutic, paradoxical communications” (Haley, Bateson, Jackson, Weakland) or the “therapy of the absurd” (Whitaker, Malone). In the present paper, I wish to present a form of therapeutic communication, the teaching story, that embodies a unique mixture of both the educational and the p

摘要:

This paper is a preliminary report on the first year of a two‐year exploratory, prospective study of psychiatrically “nonlabeled” families. The project studies families from a nonpathology‐oriented point of view. It focuses primarily on whole‐family interaction as it progresses through time. Because of limited funds, only two families are being studied in this exploratory phase. Nevertheless, the work touches on many issues of a general nature that may be of interest to other researchers. Each family has been interviewed once a month for the past year. The paper outlines: procedural matters, including selection criteria and recruitment; data collection, including interviews, rating scales, and “clinical” discussions; processing of data; preliminary findings, including quantitative and qualitative aspects; and problem areas, including methodological and et
