| Abstract: | Family Modes is an attempt to develop a standardized test for mediation assessment and research. It measures the family dimensions of interaction and organization and classifies divorcing couples as competent, discordant, disoriented, and chaotic. Each of these types calls for different mediation interventions. Preliminary norms and cutting points are given for assessing clients whose scores are below the minimum to be good candidates for mediation. |
