“…Despite this, little empirical research on the effectiveness of Milan Family Therapy (MFT) or the processes underpinning systemic and symptomatic change which arise from it has been conducted. While literature reviews and meta-analyses of family therapy as a generic form of intervention abound, to date no comprehensive review of extant empirical research on MFT has been published in a major family therapy journal or handbook Kniskern, 1978, 1981;Gurman et al, 1986;Hazelrigg et al, 1987;Markus et al, 1990;Shoham-Salomon and Bice Broussard, 1990).

Milan systemic family therapy: a review of ten empirical investigations

Ten empirical investigations of Milan Family Therapy (MFT) are reviewed in this paper. The studies include both single and comparative group outcome trials; investigations of therapeutic process; clinical audit and consumer satisfaction surveys. Substantive findings and methodological issues are discussed in the light of family therapy and individual psychotherapy research generally. Findings indicate that MFT may lead to symptomatic change in two‐thirds to three‐quarters of cases and to systemic change in half the treated cases. Engagement of fathers may be important for positive outcome. Technical aspects of MFT, such as the use of screens and teams, may lead to client dissatisfaction in some cases. MFT‐based consultation may be effective in resolving therapeutic impasses. Coupled with short‐term residential placement, MFT may reduce the risk and complexity of cases as rated by referring social workers.

Family Therapy Training Research – An Updating Review

a This paper provides an update of research into the training of family therapists. Issues from the overarching contexts of adult learning, professional training and current themes in the practice of family therapy are briefly outlined. The early organization of the training research field is seen as being programme orientated, lacking a multi-perspective approach (particularly that of the trainee) and not making use of qualitative research methods. The more recent empirical research is reviewed with these issues to the fore. The paper concludes by providing a new set of research questions, many of which can be addressed by qualitative methodologies and by calling for the research process to be an essential ingredient of training for family therapists aided by the development of the trainer/researcher role. IntroductionAny discussion of family therapy training should as a first step consider the general context of adult learning and professional education, for it is within this context that important issues and parameters will be found that have a direct bearing on the evaluation of training. Thus, of the models of professionalism that have been identified (Jones and Joss, 1995), the most applicable to the practice of family therapy would appear to be that of the reflective practitioner (Schon, 1983). The role that one is training for with this model is of facilitating the discovery of optimal courses of action and solutions to problems in an uncertain world. The model holds that there are no right single answers, there being a range of possible solutions and courses of actions which can vary from context to context. It is also recognized that the theories which inform such practice may be deficient or incomplete.The tasks of training reflexive practitioners have then to be © 1997 The Association for Family Therapy

Training in Family Psychology: A Competencies‐Based Approach

Family psychologists are influenced by major trends in psychology, such as the emphasis on competency-based education, clinical training, and credentialing (Kaslow, 2004;Kaslow et al., 2004). Thus, we believe that the time is ripe to extend the core competencies in professional psychology to include family-related elements consistent with systems theory. The extant organizations devoted to promoting family psychology need to take the lead in the identification, education and training, and credentialing of family psychologists in accordance with the core competencies.A competency-based approach emphasizes the ability to apply knowledge and skills in the real world and uses performance outcomes as criteria for evaluating learners and training programs. This approach offers an explicit framework to initiate, develop, implement, and evaluate the processes and outcomes of training. The competency-based movement in psychology took center stage in 2002 at the Competencies Conference: Future Directions in Education and Training in Professional Psychology (Kaslow, 2004;Kaslow et al., 2004). Building upon prior work, eight core competencies were named:• application of scientific knowledge to practice • psychological assessment • psychological intervention • consultation and interprofessional collaboration • supervision • professional development The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Family Psychology Edited by James H. Bray and Mark Stanton
