Which of the following behaviors indicate that family therapy has been effective and can be terminated?
1. Family members are able to give feedback to others, telling them how they appear
2. Family members are able to identify faults and failures of others, telling them how to act better
3. Family members are able to give praise and criticism in equal measure
4. Family members are able to identify problems with communication
1
Rationale: Termination in family therapy occurs in a flexible way, helping families achieve realistic goals, thus ending therapy with a feeling of accomplishment. The ability to give feedback to each other in a constructive manner is the sign of a healthy family. The ability to identify problems with communication is an early goal of therapy. Identifying faults and failures of others is not the focus of family therapy. Giving praise and criticism in equal measure is not a goal of family therapy and does not indicate the need for termination.
