摘要

Chapter 7 describes the analytical process of classifying the Meaning of the Child Interview (MotC), drawing upon previous chapters. Essential features of the discourse, identified by the system, are outlined through brief descriptions. Coding the MotC is a skill, and like any useful skill, needs to be taught and practiced. This account, however, should support those who want to understand the principles behind the assessment and use them to inform their clinical practice, while offering a useful summary to those learning the method. Coding can be seen as a 5-stage process: This process is circular and interactive, moving between the global picture and detailed evidence until a theory has been developed that best fits all available evidence. Classifications offer a main pattern, as well as the level of parent-child synchrony. The MotC is an assessment of the nature of a relationship rather than a measurement: even collaborative relationships can be problematic in some circumstances. Nonetheless, the classification is useful to gauge concern and tailor support to the needs of the family.
