摘要
This article presents a quasi-experimental study comparing families attending a three-day therapeutic wilderness family camp utilizing Family-Directed Structural Therapy (FDST), as well as receiving Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) usual services, with families receiving only usual services from the same CMHC. All families came from a rural area in the midwest. Data were collected over six months' time. Measures included the FDST assessment tool, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale II (FACES II), and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Treatment families improved to a statistically significant degree on 8 of 12 FDST measures; they had statistically significant improvement on the FACES II cohesion scale, whereas the comparison families did not; and treatment group children improved on all four CBCL subscales, whereas comparison group children deteriorated on all four subscales.
