Identifying and thinking about each member"s story line of the problem. Mapping the effects of the problem on you". Asking if it is okay to ask this line of questioning (came in with the understanding that one member has the problem, emergence of family systemic nature >>> bringing up problems/issues identi ed by other family members) Asking a scaling question (rate 1 to 10, where 0 is hopelessness" has completely t taken over your life" to 10 your hopeful") Seeing where the family sees themselves at the moment.
