Abstract
In the current climate of evidence‐based clinical practice, there is an urgent need to give family therapy research more prominence, and to demystify it for the practitioner. We were curious to discover how a family assessment instrument would behave with families we saw in our clinical practice. This paper describes our first attempt to apply a family measure, the Global Assessment of Relational Functioning, with 51 families in which the referred child presented with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of AD/HD. The GARF, a one‐point measure, assesses three dimensions of family functioning: problem‐solving skills, organisational characteristics and emotional climate. We illustrate the use of the measure with the description of two families who rated at the opposite ends of the scale. The potential value and the limitations of the GARF as a family assessment are discussed.
