Assessing families suggests both interesting measurement issues and significant clinical applications. This volume is a collection of important papers to explore the topic in some depth.
Some of these papers were first given at the Buros-Nebraska Symposium on Testing and Measurement. Others have been written especially for this volume. All are outstanding examples of scholarship in this very thorny area of psychological measurement beyond the individual. We commissioned papers that examined the history of measurement with families and to cover family issues that are of particular interest to both clinicians and researchers. Overall, the authors have tackled very big issues. They have illuminated issues associated with measuring more than one person, that is, creating constructs that define systems and interactions. They have considered these measurements from both clinical and research perspectives.
Finally, they have created a framework that captures normal developmental milestones for families and families in reaction to significant stressors. It is an important work that continues the Buros Institute tradition of being at the cutting edge of measurement concerns.
