On a theoretical level, the authors define family approaches as those organized around systems theory and constructivism. On an assessment level, they define family approaches as those that operate from a three-person unit of analysis, identifying three-person interactional patterns and three-person interactional exceptions. From an intervention perspective, the authors define family therapy approaches as those that aim to change interactional patterns and/or enlarge interactional exceptions. Family approaches to working with trauma are then reviewed. Finally, the chapter addresses cross-cultural competence and trauma. The authors note the dominance of Western ideals and argue for the inclusion of and sensitivity to non-Western cultural understandings.

Specific aspects of family support is defined and research on how it impacts trauma as both a preventative measure and a central component of the healing process is provided. Research regarding lack of family support and the consequences to the trauma survivor is offered. A description of numerous types of family interactional patterns and they interfere with family support is outlined. Cross-cultural issues related to trauma and trauma treatment are addressed.

Theoretical and philosophical perspectives in which I-FAST is organized around are described. Treatment steps are outlined. Family assessment and goal setting procedures are described. How these procedures are used for in-session and between-session tasks, framing and reframing, and the use of questions as intervention procedures within I-FAST are described. The chapter also discusses how to integrate intervention procedures from any evidence-based trauma treatment into I-FAST and how I-FAST is culturally competent and consistent with trauma-informed care is discussed. Finally, a detailed case example showing the application of I-FAST is offered.

How to engage these parents in integrative family and systems treatment (I-FAST) and how to simultaneously help with their parenting impairments and their trauma symptoms is described. Four cases are examined in detail, covering four types of treatment situations. In Cases 1 and 2, helping a trauma survivor parent when they are requesting help for their problem teenagers, but not for their trauma-related difficulties is described. In Case 3, helping a trauma survivor mother focus directly on resolving her trauma symptoms as a method for helping her seriously impaired daughter is described. In Case 4, focusing on serious dissociative symptoms of a mother, which only developed after the successful resolution of her son’s difficulties is described.

The book outlines a flexible yet structured family therapy approach that can integrate intervention procedures from any of the evidence-based manualized trauma treatments into a family treatment framework. The authors show how this flexibility offers great advantages for engaging trauma survivors and their families into treatment, who otherwise would not cooperate with standard trauma treatment approaches. They show how tracking and utilizing client and family frames in the organizing of treatment enhances both family engagement and the healing process in general. We show the role of family interactional patterns in the perpetuation of trauma symptoms and how changing these patterns leads to the resolution of trauma symptoms. The book demonstrates how tracking and enlarging interactional exceptions plays a key role in overcoming problems related to trauma. For clients who are not interested in trauma treatment, the authors show how treatment focusing on whatever issue they are willing to address can simultaneously resolve their trauma symptoms.
