This paper discusses family therapy research in applied settings and highlights those methodological issues relevant to the program evaluator as compared to those relevant to the basic researcher. Four general methodological issues are discussed: design adequacy, issues related to dependent measures, situational factors, and issues of generalization and duration of treatments. Two specific, well-validated applications of family therapy are elaborated; and finally several conclusions are drawn regarding future research strategies.
