Jankowski (1999): A contextual perspective of clinical judgement in couples and family therapy: is the bridge too far? In: Journal of Family Therapy 21 (4): S. 339-359. abstract: This paper reviews the clinical judgement literature and discusses its applicability to the practice of couples and family therapy. Key findings and conceptual foundations are highlighted. A contextual perspective is advocated to guide future investigations and to enhance the generalizability of the literature to the real-life experiences of therapists. Suggestions for theory development and future research are provided. Reimers, Sigurd (1999): ‚Good morning, Sir!‘‘Axe handle.‘ Talking at cross-purposes in family therapy. In: Journal of Family Therapy 21 (4): S. 360-376. abstract: This paper will examine how therapists can make sense of and use some of the incongruous and apparently absurd replies which clients sometimes make to their therapists‘ questions. It will be argued that the convention of relying on therapist questions can create its own problems, not least because clients often feel at a disadvantage. Careful attention to the question_answer process in therapy can play an essential part in the therapeutic alliance and can give us clues as to what may be some of the often unstated preoccupations of our clients. Rivett, Mark (1999): A thematic review of the family therapy journals of 1998. In: Journal of Family Therapy 21 (4): S. 377-389. abstract: This review considers papers within the principal family therapy journals for the year 1998. The clearest themes that emerged were a considerable reflection on the influence of constructionism on the field, issues around femininism and family violence and techniques of working with children. Nath, Reena & Jane Craig (1999): Practising family therapy in India: how many people are there in a marital subsystem? In: Journal of Family Therapy 21 (4): S. 390-406. abstract: Systemic therapy would appear to be a viable form of treatment for people who exist in cultures that contain complex, extended family systems, such as those found in India. The practice of family therapy in India has evolved from Western concepts. These concepts appear to offer Indian therapists relevant and practical ways of working with families. However, some of these concepts need modifying before they can be used in an Indian context. Indian families may have very different worldviews and ideas of ‚self‘ compared to families in the West, leading to different family organization. The situation can be further complicated by the cultural norms of therapists themselves. Therapists in India are often highly educated, come from upper-middle-class families and have been exposed to different cultures. They increasingly share many of the values of their counterparts in the West. At the same time, they retain aspects of their own cultural heritage, which is also the dominant culture for a large number of the families with whom they work. Thus, not only must Indian family therapists seek to work in culturally appropriate ways; they must also tolerate their own internalized conflicts regarding differing cultural norms. With the use of clinical data, this paper describes some of the personal and professional problems experienced by an Indian family therapist working with Western constructs of family organization. Moorhouse, Adele & Alan Carr (1999): The correlates of phone-in frequency, duration and the number of suggesdtions made in live supervision. In: Journal of Family Therapy 21 (4): S. 407-418. abstract: The relationship between the parameters of live supervisory phone-ins and particular supervisory and therapy processes were examined in this study. The frequency of phone-ins and the number of suggestions made by supervisors were associated with specific therapist, supervisor and client behaviours. Less frequent phone-ins (five or fewer per session) were associated with greater client cooperation, greater supervisor collaboration and, surprisingly, less therapist collaboration with clients. There was also a trend for client cooperation to occur more frequently following phone-ins in which four or more suggestions were made. The duration of phone-in events was not significantly associated with the supervisory and therapy processes examined in this study. Sundelin, Johan & Kjell Hansson (1999): Intensive family therapy: a way to change family functioning in multi-problem families. In: Journal of Family Therapy 21 (4): S. 419-432. abstract: TA single group treatment outcome study of intensive family therapy (IFT) is presented. One hundred and nine families from five Swedish units participated and results on family measures for eighty-six of these families are reported. This multi-centre study is the largest so far of this treatment model. The units offered a full-day multi-impact treatment programme for families during an intensive period of approximately one month preceded by a period of extensive planning. Measures used were the self-rating ‚Family Climate‘ and Family Relation Scale and observer-rated CRS-Turbo and the Beavers‘ System Scales. Significant changes in the direction towards a better family climate and a higher family functioning occurred. Given the very difficult circumstances of these multi-problem families the results are considered promising. Book Reviews.
