Description:
<jats:p>Family therapies which aim to begin treatment in the first session leave the practitioner at a disadvantage regarding the collection of demographic, historical, and genealogical data that may be useful as treatment proceeds. Not wanting to disrupt interactional reciprocity and flow, the therapist cannot perform methodical anamnesis. The Self‐report Family Data Form is presented for collecting useful biographical data from families in treatment without interfering with the clinical interaction.</jats:p>
