Program Description |
Evaluation of child and family parameters
followed by a programme of psychoeducation, family communication sessions, and groups for
parents and groups for children. The impact of the programme on individuals is regularly
re-evaluated. |
Evaluation |
The details of functioning are gathered
through interview, and the degree of strength in these areas is quantified using the
parents’ version of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997). The
child is asked to complete the Self Description Questionnaire (Marsh 1990) and the
competence scales of the Child Behaviour Checklist (Achenbach & Edelbrock 1983). The strength of family themes are assessed using
the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES II)(Olson et al 1982). |
