Brief Summary

The proposed study focuses on the relational characteristics of the family and their evolution in the course of family therapy, through the evolution of the family alliance (degree of coordination achieved by its members to perform a task) and co-parenting (support that the mother and father give each other in their roles as parents), assuming that the family therapy allows the improvement of these two aspects. The family alliance is evaluated via a standardized observation situation (Lausanne Family Play LFP adapted from the Lausanne Trilogy Play LTP) whose sessions are filmed. The alliance assessment is carried out by the coding and scales of the FASS (Family Alliance Assessment Scales,) tool during viewing.

Study Groups

Family with young aged people

The family will be evaluated in two stages via the standardized situations LTP (parents and patient) and LFP (family) as well as self-assessments

Group Type: OTHER

Lausanne Trilogy Play

Intervention Type: OTHER

Trilogical game of Lausanne ("Lausanne Trilogue Play" in English abbreviated LTP), which allows an evaluation of the family alliance. This systematic observation provides a "snapshot" of the family structure and its adaptive abilities. It is based on the assumption that the ability to solve "small" tasks is representative of the ability to solve more important tasks.The LTP consists of modelling the different possibilities of interaction in a triad according to a four-part scenario: 1) one parent plays with the child, the other parent is simply present; 2) the parents switch roles; 3) both parents play together with the child; and 4) both parents have to talk together.

Lausanne Family Play

Intervention Type: OTHER

Lausanne Family Play (LFP) is a game situation adapted to families with more than one child. Thus, like the LTP, the LFP takes place in four phases:1) one parent plays with siblings while the other is in a third-observer position; 2) the parents reverse their roles;3) children play while parents are talking and 4) family members play together.
