Abstract: The authors compared the effectiveness of video feedback to verbal feedback within the context of Milan Systemic family therapy. Ten families were randomly assigned to either the video- or verbal-feedback condition, resulting in 16 participants in each condition. Families engaged in 5 weeks of family therapy, which included either verbal or video feedback on a family interaction task. Changes from pretreatment to posttreatment were analyzed for several problem-related and family variables. Results indicated significant pretreatment-posttreatment (controlling for family) interactions for responsibility for the problem and family adaptability. Support was found for the therapeutic effects of video feedback within Milan Systemic therapy.
