Connections and Themes of Spirituality in Family Therapy
In this article, we provide an overview of current considerations of spirituality in family therapy literature and practice. We suggest that whatever practice of therapy is undertaken, implicity or explicitly it will reflect views on the connection between spirituality and family therapy–connections involving clients' and therapists' beliefs. A thematic framework based on dimensions of the instrumental and metaphysical is outlined. Clinical approaches and practices within these connections are discussed.

Psychological Model for Presymptomatic Test Interviews: Lessons Learned from Huntington Disease
This paper reflects on experience gained from presymptomatic testing for Huntington disease. An approach is presented which considers the role of the clinician and aims of the interview. Irrespective of the disease being tested for, it is suggested that the psychological aim of presymptomatic testing is to foster emotional insight and understanding that will help clients in their decision‐making process about testing and their subsequent adjustment to the result. Based on these aims the process of presymptomatic testing, counseling is considered in terms of clarification, consideration, education, and reflection, followed by decision making. Practical approaches are discussed and illustrated with clinical examples.

A case-control study of somatic and behavioural symptoms in sexually abused boys
OBJECTIVES: To ascertain how often sexually abused boys present with somatic and behavioural symptoms. DESIGN: A case-control study. SETTING: A primary school in South Wales where a male teacher had been convicted of sexually abusing boys since 1981. The police investigation started in 1993 and he was convicted in 1994. A similar large primary school where abuse had not taken place. SUBJECTS: All 107 boys who had been identified by a police inquiry to have been subject to sexual abuse by a single teacher in a single primary school; 107 age matched controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Symptoms that might have had a somatic or behavioural basis reported in general practice, hospital, and school health records. RESULTS: Somatic and behavioural complaints were uncommon in both cases and controls. There was no significant difference between the numbers of cases and controls who had presented with somatic and behavioural complaints (18 cases v 25 controls). However the difference between the cases and controls with symptoms lasting over a year was significant (p < 0.05). There were no differences in the nature of reported symptoms between the control and abused groups. CONCLUSIONS: This suggests that extensive investigation for possible abuse is not indicated where are short lived somatic symptoms but it should be considered as a possible diagnosis where symptoms are long standing.
