The Family System Test (FAST), developed by Thomas M. Gehring, is
an important new tool for investigating family relations. Based on
the structural-systemic theory of families, it is a figural
technique for representing emotional bonds (cohesion) and
hierarchical structures in the family or similar social systems. In
this unique volume, the editors draw on current theory and research
in family or similar social systems together with a variety of
empirical studies that have used the FAST, to provide a
comprehensive overview and assessment of the test and its use in
various clinical research contexts. The book is divided into four
sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the FAST. Part 1
describes the concepts and psychometric properties of the FAST
within the context of theoretically and empirically relevant
aspects of the field of family psychology as a whole. Special
emphasis is given to systematic-structural approaches to assessing
individual and family functioning. Part II focuses on the use of
the FAST in developmental research. For example, the the FAST has
been used to show how family constructs are influenced by age, type
of family and situation. Part III deals with cross-cultural issues
and compares the interpersonal constructs of Japanese and Chinese
families to Western families. Finally, Part IV addresses the
applications of the FAST in clinical setting - in diagnosis of
biopsychosocial problems and planning and evaluation of clinical
interventions. The result is a book that helps to bridge the gap
between theory, practice and research. It will be essential reading
for users of the FAST and all clinicians and researchers who work
in family relations and development.
