Response to: A Critical Review and Call for Revision of Weisman and Montgomery's Review of Functional Family Therapy by Michael S. Robbins, Charles Turner
Weisman, Clio Belle; Montgomery, Paul
Research on Social Work Practice, v29 n3 p358-360 Mar 2019
The authors are grateful for this opportunity to respond to Robbins's and Turner's review of "Functional Family Therapy (FFT) for Behavior Disordered Youth Aged 10-18: An Overview of Reviews" (Weisman & Montgomery, 2018). It may be helpful to ensure that a few key points have been clarified to enable this process. In their paper, Robbins and Turner (2018) propose an alternative conclusion. While the authors do not believe the overview results of FFT are consistent, they otherwise agree that the reviews demonstrate the positive effects of FFT, but it is not possible to state that these results provide unequivocal support for its effectiveness.
