Description - Family Assessment by Manfred Cierpka
This text on family assessment integrates psychodynamic and systemic perspectives. German and US authors draw from both perspectives and integrate their cultural backgrounds. The family is evaluated on three levels: the individual, the dyads and triads, and the family system. Interwoven with clinical examples, the first part of the book discusses the importance of the initial interview from the first contact with a family to goal setting and treatment planning. The second part presents the various clinical perspectives that underlie the three-level model. These perspectives include the family's contextual factors, such as its stage in the family life cycle, its social world, and related areas such as parenting styles and behaviour. Finally, the third part of the book presents some clinical applications focusing on the use of family sculpting procedures as assessment tools. This family assessment book is a true integration of theoretical perspectives and international expertise, edited and written by family assessment researchers in Germany and the United States.
