From the Paper:

"Child psychologists and therapists sometimes run in to problems when trying to come up with a Clinical Formulation concerning their patient. One problem they have to concentrate on is the child's social relationships. They need to take in to consideration the child's family, surroundings, economic status, friends and how the child performs in school. They need to assess the ability of families to see how much, if any, of the interventions they will be included in."
