When assessing an individual or family, some things are looked over. One of the most overlooked, but crucial areas of evaluation when it comes to family function is:
  1. The strength of the patriarch in administering discipline
  2. The number of individuals engaging in clinically significant behavior
  3. The strengths that the family performs well
  4. Birth order
Explanation
Answer - C - When thinking about the important diagnostic features, so often we think about what’s in the room; we remain unable to focus on what happens outside the room that may be going well for the family. Our nature as therapists is to want to fix things, but if we slow down, we will see some things already working in their favor.
