Mental distress and family functioning are important adaptive challenges that affect bereaved parents differentially by gender. In this second of two articles, we provide insights into mental distress and family functioning and intervention challenges. The Olson Circumplex Model (Olson, 1985) was used to determine levels of family functioning for 30 couples with children living at home. Based on these results and mental distress scores, four couples were selected for in-depth analysis. Results showed that discrepancies within couples changed over time. It was concluded that both mental distress and family functioning should be addressed jointly in intervention planning.

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.
