“…mediators and moderators of outcomes) (Moore et al 2014) as well as the synthesis of these different data types. Whilst there is good evidence that family-systems interventions are effective with many populations, there is a poorer understanding of how they achieve positive outcomes (Johnson et al 2020). Data on families' subjective experiences of interventions are vital for developing a richer understanding of the processes driving positive outcomes and the barriers to successful intervention (Hardy et al 2020).…”

BackgroundFamily‐systems interventions have been proposed as one way of supporting families of people with an intellectual disability (ID) or who are autistic. This systematic review aimed to summarise what family‐systems interventions have been studied with this population, what evidence there is for their effectiveness and families' experiences of the interventions.MethodsThe review was preregistered on PROSPERO (CRD42022297516). We searched five electronic databases, identified 6908 records and screened 72 full texts. Study quality was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and a narrative synthesis was used.ResultsWe identified 13 eligible articles with 292 participating families. Most studies reported positive effects of the interventions on wellbeing and family relationships, and families reported positive experiences. However, research quality was poor and there are no any sufficiently powered randomised controlled trials demonstrating family‐systems interventions' effectiveness for this population.ConclusionsThere is a need for higher‐quality research to establish whether family‐systems interventions are beneficial for families of people who have an ID or who are autistic.

“…Process researchers have focused on delineating different therapeutic factors that promote and encourage client change, both within and outside of counseling sessions. One such therapeutic factor that may promote change is engagement in tasks related to therapy between therapeutic sessions (Johnson et al, 2020).…”

Gender and Content Differences in Domain and Focus of Homework Used in Couple Therapy

et al. 2023

The assignment of tasks, or therapeutic homework, by a mental health professional for clients to complete provides clients with an opportunity to practice targeted skills or apply lessons learned in therapy sessions to practical situations. While the assignment of homework by mental health professionals is commonplace, less is known about the content domain of homework, or how homework might be distributed in terms of focus or actor. We present the results of an examination of the gender, focus, and thematic content distributions for individuals of homework tasks in a sample of ( n = 66) individuals in heterosexual couples engaged in couple therapy. Findings suggested that most of the between-session activities completed are specific and clear in nature and are focused on skill-building tasks. The outcome of the homework was nearly equally split between couples and individuals, suggesting that participants, while in couple therapy, were also engaged in some personal development. Women reported more self-improvement work compared to men, and men reported more behavioral targeted in-between session activities. Findings provided a preliminary indication that much of the work done by clients between sessions did not seem to have been explicitly assigned by a therapist. Implications for therapists and suggestions for homework provision are discussed.

Bayesian modeling is becoming increasing popular as a method for data analyses in the social sciences and can move couple, marriage, and family therapy (C/MFT) research forward. Bayesian modeling helps researchers better understand the uncertainty of findings and incorporate previous research into analyses. Other benefits of Bayesian modeling are the straightforward interpretation of findings, high-quality inferences even with small samples (in combination with an informative prior), and the ability to work with complex data structures (observations nested in relationships and time points) which are common in C/MFT research. This article introduces the benefits of Bayesian modeling and provides an example of an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model using R. Information on how to conduct the same analyses using Stata and MPlus is provided in the Supplemental Information.
