Subject:RE: Family Preservation focus and Child Protection focus

Paul I do have acess to much of len's material, but I have not encountered the specific items from your email. We do have a scale that addresses family preservation to child safety that we modified slightly. We refer to it as the dalgleish scale and are using it in several studies and preparing two manuscripts. Would that scale be of interest?

He asked for replies to the questions below. From the replies he developed a questionnaire. Unfortunately Len passed away a couple of years ago, and the questionnaire was never published. A few items of the questionnaire remain from a workshop he presented. I worked with Len and would like to recreate the questionnaire with updated items for research I am doing. I would very much appreciate it if you could answer the questions below and send your replies to me. warm regards, Paul. *********************************************** 1.

Family Preservation focus: Child protection focus: 2. If someone had a child protection focus, what sorts of statements would they make that would demonstrate that view? 3. If someone had a family preservation focus, what sorts of statements would they make that would demonstrate that view? -- Dr Paul Harnett, FAPS Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology, Room 410 School of Psychology (McElwain Building) University of Queensland St Lucia Brisbane 4072 Australia (The University of Queensland is located on the land of the Turrbal/Jagera people) ph: (07) 3365 6723 fax: (07) 3365 4466 www.pupprogram.net.au
