Her wealth of experience sets the stage for a deep dive into the world of Functional Family Therapy (FFT). During this engaging conversation, Kristal provides an in-depth overview of the FFT model, highlighting how it distinguishes itself from other intervention approaches. The key theme of the podcast is the "strength-based approach" at the heart of the FFT model. Kristal explains how this philosophy guides the intervention process, empowering and uplifting families as a central goal. The discussion delves into the challenges of engaging families in therapy and explores how the FFT model addresses this issue to establish a robust foundation for effective intervention. Motivation is a key factor in any successful intervention, and Kristal elucidates how the FFT model not only identifies sources of motivation but also sustains it throughout the treatment journey. Real-world examples are shared to illustrate how the FFT model has brought about meaningful changes within families, demonstrating its practical impact. Kristal also highlights the model's adaptability to diverse cultural contexts and the pivotal role cultural sensitivity plays in achieving success. The podcast further explores how the FFT model fosters collaboration among therapists, family members, and support systems, emphasizing the crucial nature of cooperation within the therapeutic process. Kristal shares a particularly complex or difficult case where the FFT model showcased its effectiveness, offering a tangible example of its transformative potential. The conversation also addresses the common challenges of resistance and skepticism within families towards therapy, with Kristal providing insights into how the FFT model adeptly overcomes these obstacles to build rapport and trust. The podcast concludes with Kristal reflecting on the insights gained from her years of experience with the FFT model.

Functional Family Therapy is an evidence based response to conduct disorder in adolescents. When Robert Barnoski of the Washington State Institute for Public Policy studied the programme he found that, on average, fidelity to the model matters. But there were exceptions. Some practitioners who did it their own way got good scores. Others who did it by the book got bad scores. Tom Sexton is one of the developers of the Functional Family Therapy model. Donald Forrester has been a pioneer in bringing good quality research to bear on social work. They discuss Robert Barnoki's findings, and their implications for public policy.
