Abstract
ABSTRACTAlthough the notion of involving families in residential treatment is not new, relatively little research has specifically examined youth perceptions of improvement in family functioning as an outcome of adolescent residential treatment. This study investigated youth perceptions of family functioning (as measured by the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales-III and indicated via the Circumplex Model) at admission and after at least 5 months of treatment. Posttest results specify significant perceptual improvement with families that indicated functional challenges per the Circumplex Model, and family functioning was maintained for youth (baseline) perceiving of their families as healthy.
