The FACES instrument, based on Olson's Circumplex Model of family functioning, was administered to 96 adolescent drug-abuse clients and their parents. The majority of these families categorized themselves as "disengaged" (rather than "enmeshed") on the cohesion dimension, and as "rigid" (rather than "chaotic") on the adaptability dimension. These findings were unexpected as they were substantially different from published findings on families with other types of problems. Family therapists, utilizing Olson's Clinical Rating Scale for the Circumplex Model, characterized significantly more of these same families as "enmeshed," rather than "disengaged." Possible explanations for the difference between the therapists' perceptions and the families' self-perceptions are discussed.
基于奥尔森家庭功能环状模型的FACES工具，被应用于96名青少年药物滥用患者及其父母身上。在凝聚性维度上，这些家庭中的大多数将自己归类为“疏离型”（而非“缠结型”），在适应性维度上则归类为“刻板型”（而非“混乱型”）。这些发现出乎意料，因为它们与已发表的关于其他类型问题家庭的研究结果有很大不同。家庭治疗师使用奥尔森环状模型临床评定量表，将这些家庭中更多的家庭显著地描述为“缠结型”，而非“疏离型”。文中讨论了治疗师认知与家庭自我认知之间差异的可能解释。
