“…Process research, exemplified by the FBEST approaches, contributes to our understanding of various change mechanisms that contribute to successful outcome. To further improve the effectiveness of our interventions we must continue to be attuned to our own experience of the clinical environment to identify critical in-session processes that influence relevant outcomes (e.g., Diamond & Liddle, 1996;Robbins, Mitrani, et al, 1996).…”

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted"-Albert Einstein amily therapy as a body of theory, practice, and professional identifications was developed primarily outside the mainstream of psychology Many of the F foundational constructs and early theoretical concepts emanated from thinking by major figures in such diverse fields as anthropology, information theory, cybernetics, and mathematics (Hoffman, 1981). Initial theoretical developments in family intervention and family intervention science were spurred by the recognition that traditional methods of psychological research were inadequate to deal with the overly complex issues of measuring, explaining, and intervening on family process It became clear to many that a "new" perspective was needed (Fisher, 1982;Fisher, Terry, & Ransom, 1990).Our goal in chis chapter is to map the developmental trajectory of family therapy in family psychology intervention science (FT-FPIS) from its early roots to its current status. We also hope to provide a perspective on its developmental process with an eye toward future challenges. What Is Implied by "Developmental Status"?With respect to human behavior, most lay persons (and probably most professionals) without reflection often consider development as a positively valenced process or movement over time to a "fuller" or "greater" state, not all developmental trajectories are necessarily positive, however For example, entropy, a fundamental principle of family systems, is seen as anything but a positive developmental process when used to describe the boundary violations and role 17

The Campbell Collaboration was founded on the principle that systematic reviews on the effects of interventions will inform and help improve policy and services. Campbell offers editorial and methodological support to review authors throughout the process of producing a systematic review. A number of Campbell's editors, librarians, methodologists and external peer reviewers contribute. Plain language summaryInterventions to reduce homelessness and improve housing stability are effectiveThere are large numbers of homeless people around the world. Interventions to address homelessness seem to be effective, though better quality evidence is required. What is this review about?There are large numbers of homeless people around the world. Recent estimates are over 500,000 people in the USA, 100,000 in Australia and 30,000 in Sweden. Efforts to combat homelessness have been made on national levels as well as at local government levels.This review assesses the effectiveness of interventions combining housing and case management as a means to reduce homelessness and increase residential stability for individuals who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless. What is the aim of this review?This Campbell systematic review examines the effectiveness of interventions to reduce homelessness and increase residential stability for individuals who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless. Forty-three studies were included in the review, 37 of which are from the USA. What studies are included?Included studies were randomized controlled trials of interventions for individuals who were already, or at-risk of becoming, homeless, and which measured impact on homelessness or housing stability with follow-up of at least one year.A total of 43 studies were included. The majority of the studies (37) were conducted in the United States, with three from the United Kingdom and one each from Australia, Canada, and Denmark. 6The Campbell Collaboration | www.campbellcollaboration.org What are the main findings of this review?Included interventions perform better than the usual services at reducing homelessness or improving housing stability in all comparisons. These interventions are: These interventions seem to have similar beneficial effects, so it is unclear which of these is best with respect to reducing homelessness and increasing housing stability. What do the findings of this review mean?A range of housing programs and case management interventions appear to reduce homelessness and improve housing stability, compared to usual services.However, there is uncertainty in this finding as most the studies have risk of bias due to poor reporting, lack of blinding, or poor randomization or allocation concealment of participants. In addition to the general need for better conducted and reported studies, there are specific gaps in the research with respect to: 1) disadvantaged youth; 2) abstinence-contingent housing with case management or day treatment; 3) non-abstinence contingent housing comparing group vs independent living; 4) Hous...
