Project Overview The reflecting team (RT) within family therapy involves a small team of around three practitioners who listen quietly to the family therapy session from behind a one-way screen, each developing their own ideas about what is observed and discussed. At a point during the session the family and main interviewer will then hear the team reflect. The ideas shared by the RT will be related to what they have observed and comments are made in a speculative way. After this, the interviewer then returns to the family and comments made by the RT are discussed. Reflections are suggested as a way of introducing topics which means family members don’t have to accept all or any of the new ideas as they are presented with multiple, potentially conflicting perspectives. It is expected that families will take away those ideas that they find most helpful. In order to make the RT as useful as possible for family members, it is important to understand what it is about the RT that may be able to predict change for families. The sparse research that exists suggests that the types of reflections offered by RTs may be a factor in the change process. There are two key aims of this study. Firstly, to explore whether certain types of reflections offered by a RT in family therapy are seen by family members as significantly more helpful than others. Secondly, to examine whether the helpfulness of reflections can predict a) perceived usefulness of the RT, b) perceived usefulness of the family therapy session as a whole and c) session-by-session improvement. By exploring what types of reflections are most helpful and may predict usefulness and improvement for family members, it is hoped that therapists in RTs can offer reflections which more effectively support positive change and outcomes. The project was completed in February 2020 and is being submitted for publication at which point the full manuscript will be available.
