“…By observing, recognising, intervening and making adjustments to practice, the therapist is able to respond in the moment, drawing from existing theoretical and clinical knowledge to improve the situation at hand. The literature on live supervision (Hunt & Sharpe, 2008;Lowe, Hunt & Simmons, 2008) and 'Reflective Team Process' (Anderson, 1987;Perlesz, Young, Paterson & Bridge, 1994) provides examples of how therapists integrate in the process of therapy by adopting multiple positions of both observer and facilitator. Reflection-on-practice occurs after the event and is retrospective.…”

This paper discusses how to integrate reflective practice in the family therapy supervisory relationship. This enables family therapists to think creatively, be insightful, and develop a range of perspectives regarding systemic formulation and practice. It encourages review of the past and promotes understanding in the present with the aim to improve therapists work with families in the future. Reflective practice encourages independent thinking and learning and helps therapists to develop a systemic process of critical enquiry to investigate and critique their own practice. It encourages therapists to be self‐reflective and develop confidence to think hypothetically regarding change. This allows them to pose questions for exploration, construct a new lens to conceptualise therapy and the therapeutic relationship and develop awareness of the personal as well as the professional self.

“…A comprehensive account of a team that specialises in Family Therapy with the Deaf has been written by Warner (in press), and includes a detailed review of the literature. The team itself consists of both Deaf and hearing therapists and uses the Reflecting Team model originally described by Andersen (1987) and more recently reviewed by Perlesz, Young, Paterson, and Bridge (1994). This entails the use of a one-way mirror and the opportunity for the family to swop places with the team to observe their reflections.…”

The assessment and treatment of deaf children with psychiatric disorder is intimately related to the individual child's communication, which in turn is affected by a number of factors, medical, social, and cultural. The deafness can be aetiologically related to the psychiatric disorder or can be incidental. Treatment strategies should be adapted to meet the individual child and family's needs. Deaf professionals have a vital role in mental health services for this population. The use of an interpreter can clarify communication and cultural issues for deaf and hearing children, families, and professionals.

“…They also remind us that many clients want advice from their therapist, and that planning and strategy may have a useful part to play in giving clients what they want. Indeed, the transcript of the single-case study by Perlesz et al(1994) suggests that some clients want far more clarity and direction than is provided by the reflecting team. Smith et al (1994) studied the perceptions of couples and therapists of a reflecting team approach, and found that the couples were appreciative of the boundary between the observing team and the therapeutic system, with one party listening while the other was talking.…”

Understanding alliances. How can research inform user‐friendly practice?

'User-friendliness' is described as a therapist stance which involves attentiveness to the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship', both between therapist and family and between service providers and their public. This article draws on research published in the last seven years from within and outside the family therapy field which can help improve this relationship. I will argue that the issues which challenge user-friendly practice need to be related to the theories which inform family therapy and to the traditional tension within the research field between focusing on measurable outcomes or on user satisfaction. The urgency for a clear analysis of what can make family therapy practice more sensitive to its public comes partly from the relative state of maturity which family therapy has now reached and its need actively to work alongside other approaches. Other crucial influences considered are a greater public demand for choice and improvements in public services, and social policy trends towards greater efficiency and accountability within the helping services.
