Abstract
The performance of a pictorial assessment instrument and suggestions for clinical application are described. The stylized family illustrations include the following patterns: normal family, detouring, two‐generational enmeshment, three‐generational enmeshment, parental child, undermined mother and chaotic family. Ninety‐eight individuals, five years or older, in twenty families selected depictions most like their own families. Siblings of patients alone or siblings combined with fathers chose the same pattern type as the family therapists 75 and 64% of the time, respectively. These concordances were significant statistically. Clinical uses include identifying promising therapeutic resources and facilitating transitions to systems and relationship issues.
