Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Assessment

In strategic therapy, it may be referred to as a “ritual,” but in diagnosis and assessment, clinicians are always interested in:
  1. What plays a role in maintaining the problem
  2. How a family got to be a certain way
  3. Which way is the fastest way out, bar none
  4. How much something will cost in the end
Explanation
Answer - A - For example, if it is alcohol that plays a role in maintaining the problem, alcohol must be addressed before the problem can be resolved. Keep in mind also that not all of these even make sense as reasons for examination (speed and price). Rather, therapists are interested in root problems, even if they are not first apparent.
