- Session Process

                                              

After the assessment, each session is structured in a similar way. 

1)  Discussion of Homework Assignment; highlight progress made within the focal dimension.  

2)  Experiential exercise and education about the function of healthy families.

3)  Setting of small goals and setting of strategies to be pursued as homework for next week.

Reevaluation with the ASF-F should be done in session 4. It shows frequently, that the scores turn out lower than initially. This is a sign of the family becoming increasingly aware of its shortcomings. The scores of this 2nd assessment are more realistic as a basis measure of the family, to be improved upon with further treatment.
