The research methodology for a current study of the assessment of family factors as they relate to the development of psychopathology in high-risk children is described. Factor analysis of preliminary data from eighty-three families led to the construction of six rating scales on the emotional health of the patient, spouse, and child; the family; and the marriage. These should prove valuable in predicting the outcome of the index child and his family.
