“…Understanding family dynamics is an area of increasing concern to counseling psychologists who work with families (Levant, 1983). Psychoeducational and skills training models have emerged for premarital counseling (Meadows & Taplin, 1970), couples or marital counseling (Miller, Wackman, & Nunnally, 1983), parent-effectiveness training (Beutler, Oró-Beutler, & Mitchell, 1979; Carkhuff & Bierman, 1970; Gordon, 1976; Resnick, 1981), divorce counseling (Avery & Thiessen, 1982), and even child or adolescent counseling (Stanley, 1978). Indeed, problematic family dynamics have been significantly related to the nature and degree of problems presented by college students (Hoffman & Weiss, 1987).…”

In the assessment of family cohesion and adaptability, researchers typically overlook the possibility that different components of the family may be more cohesive or adaptable than others. This potential problem is often compounded by monomethodism, reliance on a single source of information. Using a multitrait-multimethod approach, we obtained three measures of cohesion and adaptability in three component dyads of relatively healthy families. Mothers, fathers, and college students reported about cohesion and adaptability in the mother-student, father-student, and mother-father relationships. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we found significant differences in the convergent validities of mothers', fathers', and students' reports. Furthermore, significant differences emerged among the correlations between mother-father, mother-student, and father-student cohesion (and adaptability), which suggests that noteworthy differences exist between family subsystems on these constructs. Implications for assessment strategies in marital and family counseling are discussed.

“…Childbirth education classes for expectant couples have gained popularity (Resnick, 1981), but these concentrate on the mechanical aspects of birthing and early parenting. Theorists have shown surprisingly little interest in designing counseling programs specifically for pregnant women and their partners.…”
