"capture in the laboratory."

B. it often does not receive adequate funding for research as it is not recognized as a formal

therapeutic approach.

C. it is a relatively new therapeutic approach and very few professionals have expertise in this

area.

D. families are always in a state of flux and findings may lack validity and reliability.
