Family Assessment Strategies

Research methodology is not only useful for developing studies; it is also instrumental in developing valid and reliable assessments for clinical interventions. Chapter 16 of Family Therapy: An Overview discusses a variety of empirically supported assessment strategies. Select two assessment strategies from the chapter. Describe them and explain when you would use them to develop a better understanding of a family issue. How do they compare to the interview strategy that you observed in the Family Interview video? Response Guidelines Respond to at least one other learner. Make your responses to other learners substantive, referencing the assigned readings and other theoretical, empirical, or professional literature to support your views.
