Observational coding in family therapy process research

Article Abstract:

Observational coding is useful in identifying the process, the nature and change in family therapy process. A two dimensional framework illustrates various heterogeneous coding strategies that are used in family therapy process research. The model identifies the coding unit and explains the process of assigning a code to that unit. Observational coding involves representing a context for the proposed framework of research, identifying and disentangling the various strategies that have been and can be used.

The creative dialectic tension of coding strategies: reply to Greenberg (1995) and Markman et al.(1995)

Article Abstract:

Alexander, J.F. proposed omnibus and universal framework for dimensionalizing actual coding process in family therapy process research. Continuing dialogue and considerable input are required rather than the another coding approach. There are meaningful differences in various coding strategies therefore instead of focussing on limitations of various approaches there is a need to move on with a broader and a more integrative focus. Thus, prioritizing observational coding process should be avoided.

The immediate effect of reframing on client attitude in family therapy

Article Abstract:

Adolescents respond positively to reframing. Typically, their response changes from negative to neutral range, which underlines the usefulness of cognitive restructuring techniques with problematic families. Therapists's interventions, reframing, reflection and organizational statements have varying effects on family members. This depends on one's role as a mother, a father, and an adolescent. Mothers respond most positively to structuring, but adolescents' responses are in the negative range.
