Abstract
Opportunities for third-party reimbursement, marriage and family thera py (MFT) legislation, and federal funding depend largely on evidence s upporting the efficacy of specific family therapies in treating specif ic disorders. The following comprehensive review of literature attempt s to answer this ''specificity question.'' The article summarizes outc ome research (1986-95) relating to the efficacy of specific modalities of MFT in treating certain disorders and updates the chart originally introduced by Gurman, Kniskern, and Pinsof (1986). Implications for c linical practice and research are discussed.
