Oh God. I remember using that in school.......the biggest waste of time ever. I definitely won't be able to help you out any because it was instantly deleted from my mind the second my project was complete. What a waste of paper.

The CFAM is used when you must assist a family like a unity, holistically

i did not use the calgary family model, but used structural-functional theory for my paper. boy, did i hate that paper.....

but the book i used made it much easier to write and it also covers the calgary model very well:

nursing process: application of conceptual models (paperback, 1995)

author: paula j. christensen isbn: [color=#990099]081511401x

i could not have written my paper without this book......
