“…Jesse, Jurkovic, Wilkie, and Chiglinski (1982) examined reframing and positive connotation from a developmental perspective and tentatively concluded that these procedures, designed with adults in mind, may not be as efficacious with children. It seems that the efficacy of circular questioning requires an ability to 1) appreciate that people have different points of view, and 2) understand that this means that one's own interpretation is constructed and therefore amenable to reconstruction.…”

Children's attributions about the causes of family arguments affect both their interpretations of the meaning of and their adjustment to such events. Children's attributions about family arguments are, therefore, of importance in family therapy, especially for therapists who work from a cognitive or constructivist perspective. In an exploratory study, we examined children's attributions about family arguments in two arenas: marital arguments and parent-child arguments. Ninety-two children, aged 5-12, listened to an audiotaped argument and answered a series of structured questions concerning different attributions about the causes of such arguments. Descriptive analyses of the most and least endorsed attributions provided an overall map of the "stories" children tell about the causes of family arguments, and showed that, in general, they are more likely to endorse multiple, interacting causes than internal, blaming attributions. Additionally, children of all ages made somewhat different attributions concerning mothers vs. fathers in marital arguments. Implications for family therapy and suggestions for future clinical research are discussed.

“…Although relabeling (both positive and negative) has grown as an approach within family therapy, its use has been cited infrequently in other treatment settings (Jessee, Jurkovic, Wilkie, & Chiglinsky, 1982). This article illustrates how the use of positive labeling in group therapy can contribute to the treatment of chronic hospitalized patients.…”

“…There have been a number of reports in recent years suggesting that paradoxical and other strategic interventions may be put to good use in a residential setting (Bergman, 1980;Jessee & L'Abate, 1980;Jessee et al, 1982;Williams & Weeks, 1984). These reports have examined the use of strategicisystemic interventions within a conventional childcare treatment approach.…”
