FC Mother and Daughter A Cultural Tale Essay

FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Assessment is as essential to family therapy as it is to individual therapy. Although families often present with one person identified as the “problem,” the assessment process will help you better understand family roles and determine whether the identified problem client is in fact the root of the family’s issues.
