The Family Crisis Intervention Literature: What is Meant by "Family"?

Sugarman, Stuart; Masheter, Carol

Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v11 n2 p167-77 Apr 1985

Integrates recent concepts from the family therapy literature into three views: family as background, family as context, and family as a unit. Reviews and categorizes the family crisis intervention literature (56 publications) according to these three views. Examines clarity in how "family" is viewed and consistency between theory and practice. (Author/BH)
