“…These subscales were developed based on existing scales and Korean social and cultural context. 34 That is, the Family Environment Scale 35,36 was reviewed for the family dynamic environment scale; the Aggression Questionnaire 37 was reviewed for the antisocial personality scale; the Social Desirability Scale 38 was reviewed for the sociability scale; the Loneliness Scale 39 and Social Support Appraisal Questionnaire 40 were reviewed for the feeling of isolation; and the Intellectual Achievement Responsibility Questionnaire 41 was reviewed for the academic achievement belief scale.…”

The present study examined gender differences in the rate, type, and relevant variables underlying delinquent behavior among South Korean adolescents. Although female delinquency is increasing and becoming more violent in South Korea, the rate of delinquent behavior was found to be much lower among female than among male adolescents and female adolescents were much less involved in antisocial, aggressive, and psychopathic delinquent behavior compared to male adolescents. Moreover, compared to female delinquent adolescents, male delinquent adolescents were found to have greater tendencies towards antisocial personality, sociability, being sexually abused, and alcohol and drug use. In contrast, female delinquent adolescents had a greater tendency toward depression than male delinquent adolescents. No gender differences were found in the association between family dynamics and delinquent behaviors. Age and antisocial personality had the most significant total effects on male delinquent behavior. In contrast, alcohol and drug abuse was the strongest contributing factors in female delinquent behavior, although the level of alcohol and drug abuse was much higher among male adolescents than among female adolescents.

“…Some kinds of impulsive families (1), families with members who overtly express conflict in the community or at home in a socially undesirable or potentially harmful manner, are also inappropriate for paradoxical intervention. In this case, careful consideration of such techniques as escalation needs to occur in order to prevent potential harm.…”

“…There are several kinds of families with which the use of paradoxical techniques as a major therapeutic modality is ill advised. Paradoxical techniques seem least applicable in chaotic families (1), with loose and variable structures. In such families, it is often difficult to gain hold of a concrete issue to work on, and the aim of therapy may be the establishment of some kind of internal cohesion and stability rather than on eliminating particularly troublesome behaviors.…”

A review of theoretical mechanisms underlying paradoxical interventions is undertaken in an effort to classify them into three broad types: redefinition, symptom escalation and crisis induction, and redirection. A list of individual and family patient characteristics and problems particularly applicable to each type of paradoxical intervention is presented along with contraindications for use. Last, implications for training and cautions as to their use are presented.

“…Paradoxical techniques seem least applicable in chaotic families with loose and variable structures, where the goal is the establishment of some cohesion and stability, rather than the elimination of troublesome behaviour (Fisher, 1977). So too in 'childlike families' in which even the adult members are seeking parenting from the workers-these lack a sufficient unity of purpose for a paradox to be effective and they tend to see interventions as another rejection by a parental figure.…”

The Chinese duet: the Tao of resistance

This paper discusses the elements of a family intervention which draws on some concepts of Tao philosophy, such as polarity and returning. The polarity is that of the complimentary opposites yin and yang, and the returning is the cyclical returning and balance that is to be found in nature and its systems, which contain both a tendency towards stability and towards change. The balanced use ofyin andyang, when confronted by a system that is stuck off-balance, develops into a debate similar to the 'Greek Chorus'. This is then followed up by a confusing letter which leaves members of the family with a set of reframes and tasks from which they can create a response to their difficulty.
