Using data from a multiple-case study, three explanatory propositions on family-professional involvement and interactions are examined. The multiple-case study data and analysis are based on the family perspective. The propositions were examined using the logic of pattern matching as defined by the case study approach of Robert Yin. The first two propositions were examined using a variation of pattern matching labeled rival theory. These propositions are: (1) Effective services function by promoting the capabilities and competencies of families to mobilize resources and perform parenting responsibilities in ways that have empowering consequences; and (2) Effective services function by allowing families to identify their own needs and choose the extent to which they can or will participate in the services that satisfy their needs and preferences. Analysis suggests that a combination of the two rival theories best matched the data, and a rewritten proposition is suggested: Effective services function by recognizing and helping the family utilize their own family functioning style, and by allowing the family to identify their own needs and choose the extent to which they can or will participate in services that satisfy their needs and preferences. The third proposition looks at youth outcomes from the family's perspective in comparison to the professional's perspective. The third proposition is based on the anthropology of biomedicine model, it is: The perception of youth outcomes is defined by the domains of reference for the different groups (parents and professionals). The case study data showed that families do identify outcomes for their children, and that their expectations are different from the professionals. Analysis of this proposition suggests that children's outcomes are impacted by those differences and that the family may be satisfied with child outcomes not considered appropriate by the professionals. Negative impacts on child outcomes and measurement of service quality may occur if professionals do not understand the family perspective.
