Integrative Family and Systems Treatment (I-FAST): A Strengths-Based Common Factors Approach

Autor J. Scott Fraser, David Grove, Mo Yee Lee, Gilbert Greene, Andy Solovey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2014
Funders of mental health services to youth and families have increasingly required providers to use treatments deemed to be "evidence-based." There are several evidence-based family treatment (EBFT) approaches found to be effective with the same types of presenting problems and populations. All of these EBFTs claim to be based on similar theoretical approaches and have specified treatment protocols that providers must follow to be faithful to the model. These EBFTS are expensive for agencies to establish and maintain. Many agencies that initially adopted one of these EBFTs later de-adopted it because they could not sustain it when billing Medicaid is the only way to pay for such services. Meta-analyses of treatment outcome studies have found that various theoretical approaches to therapy are effective but no one approach is more effective than any other. What accounts for client improvement is not the specific treatment approach but rather the factors they all have in common. To provide an effective, affordable, and flexible approach to family treatment the authors of this book developed and have conducted researched on an approach they call Integrative Family and Systems Treatment (I-FAST). I-FAST is a meta-model organized around the common factors to family treatment. Such a model does not require practitioners to learn a completely new way to provide treatment but rather it builds on and incorporates the clinical strengths and skills they already possess. This book is a manual for how to faithfully and flexibly provide I-FAST. A manual for a meta-model to treatment based on the common factors has never been provided. This book provides clear guidelines illustrated by cases examples for not only how to provide I-FAST but also how to teach and supervise it as well as how to integrate I-FAST with the rest of an agency's services and programs.

Recenzii

The authors do a skillful job of laying out their metamodel of working with families of at-risk children that reaches practitioners, supervisors, and clinical administrators. The authors provide readers with a clear and detailed outline of the core components of I-FAST, complete with helpful figures, case examples, and relevant research. The final result is a text poised to make a promising contribution to the field of family therapy, particularly for agencies and practitioners looking for an effective approach for working with high-risk youths and their families.
This manual is a great addition to a professional library for a new graduate or an established practitioner as it reminds us of the shared strengths across family and systems approaches to best serve the youth and families with whom we work.
