Abstract

Why was Elizabeth the symptomatic family member? This challenging question is informed by the family assessment, which examines family process patterns, family structure, family history, and developmental challenges of individual family members and the family as a whole. Although the answer to this question may never be explained completely, the family assessment does contribute to the biopsychosocial formulation on which rational therapeutic intervention is based. The family assessment does not replace a clinical assessment of the identified patient. Rather, the use of the family assessment provides a greater breadth from which to view children and adolescents presenting complaints.

摘要

为什么伊丽莎白是有症状的家庭成员？这个具有挑战性的问题是基于家庭评估得出的，家庭评估会考察家庭过程模式、家庭结构、家族病史以及个体家庭成员和整个家庭所面临的发展挑战。尽管这个问题的答案可能永远无法完全解释清楚，但家庭评估确实有助于形成生物心理社会诊断，而合理的治疗干预正是基于这一诊断。家庭评估并不能取代对确诊患者的临床评估。相反，使用家庭评估能提供更广阔的视角来观察有症状的儿童和青少年。
