Nurses can use research findings to educate other health professionals about homeless subcultures with attention to specific cultural and socioeconomic needs, as well as to develop interventions for homeless women. 2. Minority women are more susceptible to homelessness as they experience increased poverty levels and are often single mothers. Of all minority women, African-American women are the most vulnerable to physical and psychological illness. 3. In this study, 75% of the subjects had scores on a psychological assessment test that indicated they needed additional psychological testing.

To hlfill this responsibility, therapists must carefully and systematically assess clients, establish working hypotheses, intervene, and then evaluate the outcomes of intervention. The initial approach the therapist uses to carry out this process, according to Minuchin (1974), will influence client responses and determine what interventions are chosen. The initial approach, the moment of truth between therapist and client, is that point in time when the conceptual and perceptual skills of the therapist become connected to his or her executive skills (Tomm and Wright, 1979). These executive or intervention skills are, in turn, directed toward the client. Conceptual skills are related to the therapist's ability to attribute "meaning to observations or of applying previous learning to the specific therapeutic situation." Perceptual skills refer to the "therapist's ability to make pertinent and accurate observations" (Tomm and Wright, 1979: p.229). The "previous learning" referred to by Tomm and Wright is learning in the reality-based, experiential sense as well as learning in the abstract theoretical sense. The relationship of this latter type of learning to executive or intervention skills, or the relationship between theory and clinical intervention, is the focus of this article. It is our intent 1. to define the functions of a theoretical framework in the clinical area; 2. to apply two theoretical frameworks-interpersonal and family systemsin specific client situations, using the defined functions; 3. to explore the manner in which the theoretical frame of reference influences the therapeutic process; and 4. to conclude with a discussion ofthe outcomes of the two sets of interventions. FUNCTIONS OF THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK The function of any theory is to provide an explanation of observed phenomena. The explanation is not the truth about the phenomena but rather a ". .. systematic review" that specifies "relations among variables, with the purpose ofexplaining and predicting the phenomena" (Kerlinger, 1973). Theory also guides the selection of the variables to be observed in the clinical area, and predicts something about the interrelationship between these variables. More specifically, theory serves as

The authors explore some of the factors that contribute to the confusion surrounding the care of these persons, including the prevalence and complexity of the problem: current understanding of the effect of drug-induced neurophysiological changes on the central nervous system and the cogntthre function/dysfunction of persons with a major mental illness: the difficulties presented by parallel treatment systems for mental illness and chemical addiction: and the need for a shift to interdisciplinary education to integrate services into the practice setting.

This trend as well as the consumer-led recovery movement challenge psyciatric nurses in both educational and clinical settings to carefully examine their knowledge, skills, and attitudes and to develop new partnerships with consumers in nontraditional settings to promote quality. The development of consumer-run peer support services serves as a model of consumer/professional partnerships.

One method of achieving this goal is to identify and classify phenomena of interest using a nursing perspective. In this article, the multidisciplinary construct of family boundaries is explored as a phenomena of interest to psychiatric nurses. Kim's (1987) theoretical frame-work and a classification system derived by Coler and Vincent (1987) are applied to the construct and illustrated through use of a case study. Interventions relevant to type of family system boundaries are described.

It has been noted in the literature that the strengths approach to case management is supportive of mental health consumers experiencing recovery. Although strengths-based case management has been operationalzed by six principles and five functions, it has not been very well operationalized at the micro level of direct interactions between case managers and mental health service recipients. This article describes how the perspective of and techniques from solution-focused therapy can be used to further operationalize the strengths perspective for these direct, one-on-one interactions to facilitate mental health consumer recovery.

INTRODUCTION Some years ago a diverse group of researchers and practitioners at The Ohio State University with interest in the field of alternative dispute resolution conducted a series of meetings to share ideas. One outcome of these meetings was that faculty members from Law, Nursing, Psychology, and Public Policy and Management applied for and received a grant from the University to develop a series of interdisciplinary research seminars focused on legal and social science research related to mediation. The Divorce Mediation Research Seminar, the focus of this paper, was one of those planned. The goals of the seminar were to address the questions: What existing social science and legal research could inform current practice and policy in the area of divorce mediation, and what research, if conducted, would have promise for improving the quality of divorce mediation and legal policies?' The purpose of this paper is to describe the planning and outcomes of The Divorce Mediation Research Seminar. To effectively achieve this goal, we begin by briefly reviewing the literature in the area that formed the foundation upon which the seminar participants built. Following this review, we present a set of assumptions upon which both current legal policy and social research appear to be based. Finally, we describe the outcomes of the seminar and discuss a research agenda that could lead to the development of new kinds of knowledge about the practice of divorce mediation and, therefore, favorably influence policy.
