Send an Electronic Postcard Now! Families at Risk Gary A. Crow, Ph.D. and Lisha M. Crow, B.S. Families At Risk shows you how to tell if your family is at risk of bad outcomes today or at risk somewhere down-the-road. In “Getting Started” you examine problematic behavior and attitudes. You learn what types of difficulties people have that put their families at risk and what to look for in your family and in the families of people you know. In “Family Functioning” you learn to look beyond individual problems to underlying issues with how people get along with each other. You also learn how to assess relationships and how to identify interpersonal risk factors. In “Dynamic Understanding” you are introduced to a real-life family at risk through an extended, inter-generational narrative. The challenge is for you to spot individual and family problems, point out issues in how people get along with each other, and predict tomorrow's bad outcomes from what you observe today.
