Family Therapy Research and Practice: Constructs, Measurement, and Testing.

Shields, Cleveland G.

Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v12 n4 p379-82 Oct 1986

Responds to three points Tomm (1986) makes: the heart of science is explanation, not measurement; Tomm's disagreement with Shields over the term "objectivity"; and Tomm's contention that the focus of research and theory building should be the interactional nature of therapy itself. (Author/ABB)
