Purpose: This case study is the introspective account of the evaluation process of Functional Family Therapy (FFT) as implemented in Middlesex County in New Jersey between 2005 and 2011. The study presents challenges and issues in evaluation falling into three main categories. Methods: The case study is based on the recollections and documented experiences of the author who was responsible for all major aspects of the evaluation including designing the study, collecting the data, and handling daily evaluation activities. Results: The author differentiated among three main categories of challenges. In respect to research design, the relative merits of experimental versus nonexperimental designs and quantitative versus qualitative research methods are discussed. The second set of issues involves developing and exercising the social competence skills necessary to form working partnerships with service providers. The third set encompasses logistical barriers encountered during daily evaluation activities. Conclusions: The challenges and lessons learned from conducting the outcome evaluation of FFT are situated within scholarly debates on evaluation research, with the goal of providing further insights into the on-the-ground implementation and process of program evaluations. The experiences, recollections and processes illustrate challenges and solutions applicable to evaluations of other family-based violence prevention interventions.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a successful combination of transactional analysis therapy and hypnotherapy in the treatment of clients with emotional conflicts. The client was a 38-year-old woman who had visited a clinic due to family conflicts with her husband. Following the first stage of therapy, the family conflicts were resolved by problem focus therapy, so the client stopped the therapy. Yet she revisited the psychological clinic after three months. In the second six sessions, initially Transactional Analysis was used to solve the emotional conflicts. At the end of the sixth session, though, the therapist realized that some of the conflicts had remained unresolved. Therefore, the therapist decided to recreate the principles of transnational analysis indirectly through hypnotic trance and used this synthetic approach to act out emotionally and resolved the conflicts. In the follow-up sessions after the hypnotherapy, the client appeared stable and the therapist witnessed no disturbance in the client’s behaviors and emotions. The client’s emotional conflicts had been resolved.
