Abstract:
The author discusses the clinical family evaluation. He discusses its advantages, and difficulties, as well its dangers, and presents a model of family evaluation. Although developped with a view to a child psychiatry practice, this model could also be applied to other mental health intervention contexts. The model in question is based on family interactions and considers the developmental level of the children. In the course of the evaluation, the family is invited to accomplish some activities in which the children can participate. Clinical cases serve to illustrate the model. The family evaluation should facilitate a better understanding of the child's psychological problems.
