“…Stover and Guerney (1967) analyzed the results of training mothers in filial therapy techniques and found a significant increase in the use of reflective statements by the mothers and a decrease in directive statements, as measured by direct observation. Selfreports by the mothers evidenced a positive influence on the parent-child relationship and the child's general emotional adjustment at the end of treatment.…”

This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of a 10-week filial therapy training model as a method of intervention for nonojfending parents and their children who have experienced sexual abuse. Filial therapy is a didactic/dynamic approach used by play therapists to train parents to be therapeutic agents with their children. Analyses ofcovariance revealed that the nonojfending parents in the experimental group significantly increased their level of empathy in their interactions with their children, significantly increased their attitude of acceptance toward their children, and significantly reduced their level of stress. Measures of the children's behavior, anxiety, emotional adjustment, and self-concept indicated positive trends. This study supports filial therapy as an effective intervention for nonoffending parents and their children who have experienced sexual abuse.

“…Many of the other publications that were located by our search could not be included in our meta-analysis, because they lacked the required minimal statistical information (i.e., n-and p-values of the hypothesis testing), or because they were published in (volumes of) journals that were not available in any of the Dutch libraries. Three studies that were included in the metaanalysis of Hazelrigg et al ( 1987) were left out of our analysis because they did not meet our selection criteria [parent-group training, multiple family therapy (Stover and Guerny, 1967;Stuart et al, 1976;Hardcastle, 1977)l. Seven other studies which were included by Hazelrigg et al, were not available in Dutch libraries.…”

The effectiveness offamily therapy is assessed in a meta-analysis of 19 studies. At post-treatment, the average patient with family therapy is better offthan 76% ofthe patients with an alternative treatment, a minimal treatment or no treatment. This effect is comparable to that assessed of other psychotherapies at post-treatment. Our data suggest, that the effect of family therapy increases during the first year after treatment, but that the effect may diminish sharply 18 months after the end of therapy. However, more studies with extended follow-ups will be needed before firm conclusions about the long-term effectiveness of family therapy can be advanced.Along with the growth of family therapy in mental health service, data on its effectiveness have also increased. The literature on these studies has been reviewed several times in order to integrate the different results and to estimate the overall effectiveness of family therapy (Gurman et al., 1986). I n 1987, the first quantitative literature review or 'meta-analysis' on family therapy effectiveness was published (Hazelrigg et al., 1987). During the last decade, meta-analysis enjoyed a growing popularity as a review method in several areas ofpsychology as well as in other sciences. It provides a highly quantitative method for integrating research results and yields conclusions that are also more quantitative, and hence more precise and less arbitrary than the conclusions of most traditional narrative review methods (Rosenthal, 1984). Meta-analysis rests on the basic assumption that it is in the same spirit to pool the outcomes of a group of studies as to pool the outcomes of a group of individual subjects in a sample. Instead of studying a sample of individual subjects, one studies a sample of effect studies, in which each study outcome is seen as * Evelyn Markus, M.A., is a fellow-worker in Clinical
