This book deals on a very indepth level as to the inner workings of the family,and the assessment and interventions required to facilitate healing. I found the book to be very user friendly; it outlines the categories for assessment and intervention in a concise manner, as well as the diagramming of communication patterns which I found invaluable. For students it would have been beneficial for Wright and Leahey to include a completed CFAM and CFIM to give the reader a complete picture of the whole process. Overall, this is an excellent tool for any nurse to use in their practice.
Delivered when promised. This was a difficult read...primarily because it was boring. Was required to purchase this as a graduate student but I thought that it would be more appreciated at the undergrad level. It is not the author's fault that my instructor chose this text. If you can rent it, consider doing that.
This was a comprehensive complement to my masters in nursing program. This was recommended reading for my course but I found it very useful as a reference point for many subjects in my program of studies.
Provides an excellent framework for assessing the needs of families in advanced practice. Serves as a reminder as to the influence of the family in maintaining health and adherence to the treatment plan.
User friendly with easy to follow explanations of family assessment and interventions. I agree that a completed CFAM would have been invaluable for those of us in nursing school.
Came as expected. Who tells you how many words you have to use to rate something that you don't care if you rate at all. How annoying!
I needed this book for school. I have been reading chapters weekly and learning how to use my skills.
This is good for family assessments. I will use it for projects in FNP school mostly.
