“…A study of adults with psychological problems conducted by the Irish SCORE team investigated the psychometric properties of the SCORE‐28 and SCORE‐15 in a sample drawn exclusively from adult mental health services (O'Hanrahan et al., ). Aspects of this study were reported in a series of articles and theses (Carr et al., ; Daly‐White, ; Fitzhenry, ; Fitzhenry et al., ; Harte, ; O'Hanrahan, ). Previous research by the Irish SCORE team had involved families with predominantly child‐focused problems, and this provided the impetus for a study of the psychometric properties of the SCORE in families with adult‐focused problems.…”

This paper reviews a decade of research (2006-2016) on a family assessment instrument called the Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE). The SCORE was developed in Europe to monitor progress and outcome in systemic therapy and has been adopted by the European Family Therapy Association as the main instrument for assessing the outcome in systemic family and couple therapy. There are currently six main versions of this instrument: SCORE-40, SCORE-15, SCORE-28, SCORE-29, Child SCORE-15, and Relational SCORE-15. It has also been translated into a number of European languages. Fifteen empirical studies of the SCORE "family of measures" have been conducted. Most have aimed to establish psychometric properties of these instruments in English and other languages. Others have used the SCORE to document the level of family adjustment in clinical samples or evaluate outcome in treatment trials. There is now sufficient evidence for the reliability and validity of the SCORE to justify the use of brief versions of this instrument to monitor progress and outcome in the routine practice of systemic therapy.

“…The impact of ACEs on adults is well documented, with many studies indicating a consistently strong, and positive association between retrospective reports of ACEs in childhood, and a variety of adult MH problem such as anxiety, depressive, psychotic, substance misuse, and personality disorders (Carr et al ., ; Hengartner et al , ; Kalmakis and Chandler, ; Scott et al , ); and a growing body of evidence has highlighted the negative impact of ACEs on children and adolescents’ MH outcomes (e.g. Perales et al , ).…”

This article reports a systematic review of the literature examining the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), family functioning (FF) and mental health (MH) problems among children and adolescents. The current review aims to thoroughly investigate the relationship between ACEs, FF and MH, and to synthesise the findings in the literature. Three databases were searched, and a narrative synthesis of the final thirty‐four articles is presented. The results of the systematic review indicate that the association between FF and child/adolescent MH is mixed; ACEs and child/adolescent MH are related; ACEs and FF are related; and demographic factors impact on the association between the three main variables. The literature suggests a strong association between ACEs, child and adolescent MH problems, and FF, and some overlap between these variables is evident. This systematic review highlights the importance of family‐focused care and the value of asking children about their experience of adverse childhood experiences in clinical practice. Practitioner points The literature suggests a strong relationship between ACEs, FF, and MH problems FF mediates the relationship between specific ACEs, and child/adolescent MH problems, although further research is warranted Clinicians working with children and adolescents with MH problems should be mindful of family‐centred care and ask children about their experience of ACEs

Objectives:This article aimed to address the feasibility of mentalization-based treatment (MBT) for patients with personality disorder in a non-specialist setting. The development and implementation of an MBT Programme is described.Methods:A multidisciplinary Consult Group met to plan the implementation of the programme. Participants attended a psychoeducation group (MBT Introductory Group), then weekly individual and group therapy. Fourteen participants started the full programme with eight completing at least 9 months, complete data are available for five participants who completed 27 months (first cohort) and 21 months (second cohort). Data include quantitative measures and qualitative questionnaires/interviews. All had a diagnosis of personality dysfunction with co-morbid disorder including anxiety/depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and eating disorder.Results:Data on five participants revealed reductions in global level of distress, improvements in psychological well-being, less interpersonal difficulties and better work and social functioning. Qualitative data from feedback questionnaires (n = 18) and in-depth interview (n = 2) are discussed under the themes of mentalizing, treatment feedback/outcomes and group factors. Therapist reflections on the process identify the challenges involved in implementing a specialist psychotherapy programme within a general service and learning points from this are discussed.Conclusions:MBT is an acceptable treatment for patients with personality dysfunction. Prior to the implementation of a programme, factors at the therapist, team and organizational level, as well as the wider context, need to be examined. This is to ensure that conditions are in place for proper adherence to the model to achieve the positive outcomes demonstrated in the RCT studies.
