Basic Family Relations, Parental Bonding, and Dyadic Adjustment in Families with a Member with Psychosis.

The aim of the current study is to describe and explore basic family relations, parental bonding, and dyadic adjustment in families with offspring diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. The sample was made up of 120 participants, 60 in the clinical group (GCL) and 60 in the comparison group (GCP). All participants were assessed using the basic family relations evaluation questionnaire (CERFB), the parental bonding instrument (PBI), and the dyadic adjustment scale (DAS). The results showed differences between the clinical and comparison groups in terms of perceptions of basic family relations, dyadic adjustment and parental bonding. The clinical group recorded less favorable results for all of these variables. More specifically, the study observed significant differences between the groups in parental function, overprotection and caring. This study deepens our understanding of how family assessment and relational diagnoses can serve as prevention and intervention tools for families affected by a psychotic disorder.

Clinical applicability of the Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas (CERFB) in eating disorders: marital and parental relationships in traditional family structures.

Family interventions occupy a leading po- sition for eating disorders (EDs) among psychological treat- ments. However, the unavailability of family measures spe- cifically validated in such disorders in Spanish population has been documented, to evaluate family dynamics and design appropriate interventions. This study aims to validate the clinical application of the Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas (CERFB; in English, Basic Family Relations Assessment Questionnaire) in EDs.

Measuring Family Relations: Italian Validation of the "Cuestionario de Evaluación de Las Relaciones Familiares Básicas" (CERFB).

OBJECTIVE: In recent years, the gap between research into family therapy and clinical practice in the field has been growing larger. In the Italian context, a major issue concerns the lack of any single instrument that can be used to assess a range of different family functions. In order to fill this research gap, the present paper aims to validate the Italian version of the "Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas" (CERFB), a questionnaire that evaluates family relations by measuring conjugal and parenting functions. This validation will be carried out by testing the instrument's factorial structure, reliability and construct validity using an Italian non-clinical sample. METHOD: For this study, 114 couples as family units (228 participants) were recruited from the general population (mean age: 51.70, SD: 6.04). The 25-item CERFB, the six Domains of FACES IV, the FCS and the FSS were administered. RESULTS: Results from confirmatory factor analysis supported the original two-factor structure regarding conjugal and parenting functions. Furthermore, results supported excellent internal consistency and construct validity with conceptually related family measures. Finally, normative scores were calculated in order to explain clinical results. CONCLUSIONS: The Italian version of the CERFB shows good psychometric properties and can be considered a valid and reliable measure for assessing both conjugal and parenting functions. It can be used in research and for clinical purposes as an innovative instrument applied to prevent risks to the health of children and to carry out and evaluate family interventions.

Aplicabilidad clínica del Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas (CERFB) en los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria: relación conyugal y parental en estructuras tradicionales de familia / Clinical applicability of the Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas (CERFB) in eating disorders: marital and parental relationships in traditional family structures

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las intervenciones familiares ocupan una posición destacada entre los tratamientos psicológicos para los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA). Sin embargo, se ha documentado la falta de cuestionarios de evaluación familiar específicamente validados en dichos trastornos en la población española, para una evaluación de las dinámicas familiares y el diseño de intervenciones apropiadas. El objetivo de este estudio es validar la aplicación clínica del Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas (CERFB) en los TCA. METODOLOGÍA: Ciento sesenta y nueve parejas (N = 338 participantes) con un hijo con un TCA completaron el CERFB y otras medidas familiares. RESULTADOS: Los resultados del AFC confirman la solución bifactorial de la versión original en población general. Asimismo, la invarianza factorial según el género demostró el cumplimiento de la invarianza configuracional y métrica. La validez convergente la determinan las correlaciones significativas entre el CERFB y la Escala de Ajuste Diádico y el Instrumento de Vínculo Parental. La fiabilidad de ambas escalas es satisfactoria: conyugalidad (alfa = .90) y parentalidad (alfa = .76). Se proporcionan datos normativos. CONCLUSIONES: El CERFB deviene la única medida familiar disponible en los TCA para población española, ofreciendo una evaluación más amplia que las medidas existentes al comprender la conyugalidad y la parentalidad

INTRODUCTION: Family interventions occupy a leading position for eating disorders (EDs) among psychological treaments. However, the unavailability of family measures specifically validated in such disorders in Spanish population has been documented, to evaluate family dynamics and design appropriate interventions. This study aims to validate the clinical application of the Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas (CERFB; in English, Basic Family Relations Assessment Questionnaire) in EDs. METHOD: One hundred and sixty-nine couples (N = 338 participants) with a child with an ED completed the CERFB and other family measures. RESULTS: The CFA results support the two-factor solution of the original version for general population. Further-more, measurement invariance across gender results support the configural and metric invariance. Convergent validity is supported by significant correlations between the CERFB and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the Parental Bonding Instrument. Reliability is satisfactory for both scales: Marital (Alpha= .90) and Parental (Alpha = .76). Normative data are provided. CONCLUSIONS: The CERFB becomes the only available family measure in EDs for Spanish population offering a broader assessment than existing measures as it comprises both the marital relationship and parenting exercise
