Measures of family functioning for research and practice
Kathleen J. Sawin, Marcia P. Harrigan
Written by a nurse-social worker team, this book examines nearly 20 instruments for measuring family functioning. The measures are grouped by level - well-established, moderately established, and those early in development. The discussion for each includes a history of the instrument, an overview of the model and its conceptual framework; a description of the instrument; information on scoring, reliability, and validity; sample items; a description of its sensitivity to cross-cultural issues, gender, and variant family structures; a summary of studies using the instrument; and information on where to get the instrument. In recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of the study of the family, the measures described are derived from the disciplines of nursing psychiatry, psychology, social work, and sociology.
Family psychopathology
Luciano L'Abate
The influence of the family on individual behavior has long been debated, but has not received comprehensive coverage in the psychopathology literature until now. Offering a substantial contribution to contemporary nature-nurture discussions, this authoritative volume shows how many forms of psychopathology can be seen as products of external (contextual or relational) rather than internal (neurological or physiological) conditions. From both theoretical and clinical standpoints, leading experts describe a variety of dysfunctional family patterns and analyze how they can lead to different kinds of individual, marital, and family disorders. Covering theory, research, prevention, and treatment, this work serves as a reference for researchers and practitioners, and as a text in abnormal psychology and family psychology courses.
