One way to cope with the complexities and stresses of working with high-conflict families is by organizing and systematizing. There is so much that is unpredictable and uncontrollable when one is evaluating a high-conflict family system, that it is critical to predict and control all that can be predicted and controlled. This volume offers standardized questionnaire and interview tools to assist the elevator in this endeavor. Caveat: A standardized questionnaire or interview is not an assessment instrument, per se. None of the resources contained in this volume have now or are likely to ever have established reliability or validity coefficients. None of these resources generate diagnoses. Each of these resources is intended to provide you, the evaluating family law professional, with one among many perspectives on the matter at hand; the mans to draw a map to guide you through the complex family system. They provide grist for the mill and added value to the process. What you'll find in this book: - an introduction to each of ten evaluations tools presented in a sequence of six broad categories or chapters - an introduction at the beginning of each chapter to the general topic, including an annotated discussion of the resource - a chapter-by-chapter list of references - a CD containing all ten forms to download and print The resources are laid in between, page-by-page. Empirical citations are intended to highlight aspects of each tool that are particularity interesting or valuable.
