What does it sound like when a family redefines a problem in relational terms?
The authors study a specific therapeutic conversation and how it is used within a structured treatment.
Who was studied?
Families receiving attachment-based family therapy for adolescent depression or suicidality
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- What does it sound like when a family redefines a problem in relational terms?
- Whose observations or reports were used, and what competing explanations are compatible with them?
- Which features of the study population (families receiving attachment-based family therapy for adolescent depression or suicidality) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
The analysis follows a therapeutic process in 47 families receiving a specific treatment for adolescent depression or suicidality. Session patterns alone cannot establish which component improved outcomes.
