摘要:

A review of the literature in the area of ethical dilemmas facing family therapists revealed that there were a number of issues facing family therapists which are not included in the Principles for Family Therapists (1984) of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. Seventy‐five family therapists from across the nation responded to a questionnaire which asked what ethical dilemmas they face and how helpful the ethical guidelines are with these dilemmas. Results indicate that family therapists are encountering dilemmas which are not included in the Principles, significantly more often than those that are included. The ethical principles were found to be helpful for those ethical dilemmas attended to by the Principle

摘要:

Within families presenting with bulimia, there exist interactional patterns that can be said to enable, and perpetuate, the binge‐eating and purging symptoms of the identified patient. A transgenerational treatment method is proposed, which not only intervenes in ongoing dysfunctional patterns, but also provides a frame for creating a therapeutic metaphor (“legacy”) to direct the therapy. Rationale and stages of the treatment process are outlined, and a case example is given to illustrate use of the transgenerational

摘要:

The AIDS epidemic brings with it a great many changes in attitude about life and lifestyles. Among gay men this seems to mean an increased consideration about coupling and the nature of coupled relationships, along with parallel struggles around the issues of sex and intimacy. In addition, the disease has forced large numbers of people to deal with death long before the normal time. This paper discusses the impact of AIDS on the early stages of gay coupling as well as the final stage of death.

摘要:

This study compared the questionnaire responses of 71 faculty and 231 students from 12 university and 10 institute, AAMFT‐accredited and non‐accredited family therapy training programs. The findings about the preferred type of training program, criteria for program selection, expected student experiences, program policies and interprogram cooperation suggested key differences between universities and institutes as well as important similarities. Non‐accredited institutes emerged ashaving significant value differences from other programs in the study. The results also highlighted some of the major issues critical to the continued development of family therapy tra

摘要:

Contrasting conceptual paradigms describing the nature of intimate relationships are discussed. In particular, relationships may be viewed in terms of a rational bargain or as an emotional bond. The implications of each paradigm for the process of marital therapy are delineated, and the role of bonding and attachment in adult intimacy is considered. Some general conclusions are then drawn as to future directions for the marital therapy field.

摘要:

The major clinical training experience for future psychologists is the one‐year predoctoral internship. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of marriage and family therapy training available to predoctoral psychology interns. All identifiable internship programs were surveyed to determine training opportunities for doctoral psychology students interested in marriage and family therapy training. A questionnaire was developed and mailed to all predoctoral internshipslisted in the 1983–84 Internship Programs in Professional Psychology (IPPP) and 18 additional sites known to offer marriage and family therapy training. Results indicate that relatively few psychology internships offer substantial training in marriage and family therapy. A listing of internships offering significant levels of training was develo

摘要:

Abusive couples, discordant couples, and satisfactorily married couples were compared on self‐report measures of general assertion, spouse‐specific assertion, spouse‐specific aggression, and spousal physical aggression in their families of origin. Men and women in abusive relationships as well as those in discordant, but non‐abusive, relationships have lower levels of spouse‐specific assertion than satisfactorily married couples. However, men and women in abusive relationships did not differ from discordant, non‐abusive men and women, on these measures. In brief, low levels of spouse‐specific assertion are characteristic of discordant couples whether they are abusive or not. However, as in our past research, spousal violence in the family of origin was a critical distinguishing factor of physically abusive men versus discordant, but non‐abusive, men. Also, as in ourpast research, violence in the family of origin was not a critical distinguishing characteristic of women in abusiv

摘要:

Most family therapy deals with the parent‐child system. However, with chaotic multiproblem families, this often is not possible. When parents refuse to, or cannot, participate in the therapy, working with just the siblings (Sibling Therapy) offers one way to provide help to troubled children. When parents offer inconsistent or inadequate nuturing, seeing the children together is a way of developing or strengthening the bonds among them and teaching them how to be available to each other. This article proposes setting treatment goals that are consistent with the cultural and family styles of these children, describes methods for developing caring and cohesion, and presents techniques for working with these childre

摘要:

The present study sought to incorporate recent suggestions for reciprocity research into an experimental design which could use behavioral base rate change as a method for determining nonverbal reciprocity in nondistressed couples. This study examined reciprocity by surreptitiously manipulating the touching behavior of one spouse, and monitoring responses of the other spouse. Forty couples were randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. Couples were videotaped engaging in an assigned task which permitted interaction. During the interaction, positive touches, smiles, and headnods were monitored. Following instruction to do so, selected spouses in the experimental group increased their rate of touches. Results indicated that, in response, naive spouses subsequently increased their rate of touches. The results of this experiment provide supportive evidence for the lawful nature of reciprocity. The implications of these findings, and suggestions for subsequent reciprocity research, are forwarded.

摘要:

The present study explored the relationships between late adolescents' self‐reported personal adjustment and individuation from their families of origin. Individuation was defined as adolescents' subjective perceptions of how psychologically enmeshed they were in the transactional processes of fusion and triangulation within their families of origin. The results indicated a significantrelationship between adolescents' perceived involvement in their family's patterns of fusion and self‐esteem, mastery, college maladjustment and the number of reported health problems. Perceived involvement in the family triangulation process was significantly related to adolescents' perceptions of self‐esteem and mastery. The implications of the study's findings and directions for future research are disc
