A clarification and response to a critique of the Multisystem-Multimethod (MS-MM) family assessment is provided in this paper. This approach consists of a logic for integrating family assessment, systems thinking, and clinical interventions. In contrast to the wholistic, or systemic, focus of MS-MM family assessment, the critique of these procedures recommends a more reductionistic approach that contradicts basic elements of systems theory. The critique advocates the isolation and measurement of a few family phenomena, whereas MS-MM assessment recognizes the interdependence among the levels of organization and components of family systems.
本文对多系统 - 多方法(MS-MM)家庭评估的一项批评进行了澄清与回应。这种方法包含一种整合家庭评估、系统思维和临床干预的逻辑。与MS-MM家庭评估的整体或系统关注点不同,对这些程序的批评推荐了一种更简化的方法,这与系统理论的基本要素相矛盾。该批评主张孤立并测量少数家庭现象,而MS-MM评估认识到家庭系统组织层次和组成部分之间的相互依存关系。
