The traditional way of evaluating families in order to plan preventive or therapeutic treatment has been to rely solely on interviews. This book demonstrates, however, there are other methods that can help therapists better understand the family to provide effective treatment. The author leads the reader through the process of interviewing, giving test and written exercises, and developing interpretations to produce a report on the family. An extended case study helps to illustrate the methods described.
