This article describes a pilot study conducted to examine parent satisfaction with professionals who provided early intervention services to rural families. Professionals working with infants and young children with disabilities were surveyed to determine their orientation towards a family systems approach to working with families. Interventionists provided information about the degree to which they perceived themselves involving parents in the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) process. Parents were also questioned about their satisfaction with the services which both they and their child received. Results showed that parents appeared to be equally satisfied with interventionists regardless of the degree of orientation towards a family systems model of intervention. Implications for service delivery and further research are discussed.

The purpose of this article is to argue that exploring the role of television in family life is not solely a matter of studying its effects on family members; it also involves looking at TV as a phenomenon that serves a whole range of social purposes the study of which can shed light on general family functioning. In this review, existing theoretical models and research are discussed in order to show why a new model—family systems—is being proposed. The application of the family systems model to the arena of television use in the family is one that has not been previously explored. Emphasis will be placed on two family systems principles that are important in the study of the family's use of and interaction around television. Current measurement techniques will be examined to illustrate that a new approach, reflecting interaction and process, is needed. Components of a family systems model—structure, development, and adaptation—are adapted in order to discuss TV's function in the family. Suggestions for future research and implications for therapy are offered.
