“…Research in the fields of medicine, education, and psychiatry supports the tenet that accessing the client in the home yields more consistent and vivid results while minimizing costs in some situations (Gerwirtz and Gossart 2000;Meighan 1995;Menikoff 1999;Webb 1989).…”

This article reports on the findings from a study that assessed the attitudes and practice experiences of home-based therapists. Existing research in the field of couple and family therapy encompasses largely qualitative information detailing the experiences of this therapist population. We explored several hypotheses generated from the qualitative literature on home-based therapy. Study results corroborated much of the qualitative data on home-based therapists' experiences and reveal the profile of today's home-based therapists along with their attitudes and therapeutic practices. A surprising result was that various aspects of home-based therapy models seem incongruent with therapist attitudes about the delivery of home-based services.Keywords Home-based family therapy Á Home-based therapists Á Survey of home-based family therapist Home-based therapy is a growing and important aspect of service delivery to families. Yet, there is still much to learn about the practices and challenges of home-based therapy professionals (Lindblad-Goldberg et al. 1998;Thomas et al. 1999;Woodford et al. 2006;Yorgason et al. 2005). In this article, we report the findings of a research study which, using a national survey method, explored the attitudes and practice experiences of homebased therapists from three disciplines: marriage and family therapy, social work, and counseling. For the purpose of this study, home-based therapy services are understood to be therapy services delivered in whole or in part in the home setting to all or part of a family.

“…First, access to health care is often contingent on an individual revealing the need for care. When parents share health information, this may assist in receiving necessary medical care for the health condition (Caughlin et al, 2009), and may help provide tangible support from others in the form of childcare (Gewirtz & Gossart-Walker, 2000), spiritual support, financial assistance, or comfort in the form of solidarity with others in similar situations through support groups or online chat rooms. Understanding the motivations and strategies for this disclosure facilitates the integration of communication tools into health interventions in a family context.…”

Family members' communication about health has a significant impact on issues of obtaining social support, avoiding stigma, and seeking and receiving appropriate medical treatment and care. A Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theoretical perspective was used to analyze 85 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with parents and one of their adolescent children in 40 families. Findings reveal intergenerational motivations and strategies for managing individual and collective privacy boundaries around health information and the consequences of this management for individuals and families. Motivations include protecting personal privacy, preventing stress, and soliciting social support. Strategies for boundary management include humor and topic avoidance. Implications for future research in the areas of privacy management, health, and family relationships are discussed.
