요약	McMaster family assessment is a theory-driven approach to evaluating how a family functions, organized around the McMaster Model of Family Functioning and operationalized in the widely used Family Assessment Device. Developed by Nathan Epstein, Duane Bishop, and colleagues at McMaster University, it assesses families on six dimensions — problem solving, communication, roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, and behavior control — plus an overall general-functioning scale, each scored from family-member self-report against clinical cutoffs that distinguish healthy from unhealthy functioning.	Social functioning assessment evaluates how well a person performs the major social roles of everyday life — work or school, family and parenting, intimate and social relationships, and economic and community participation — and how satisfied they are with that performance. Building on the social-adjustment measurement tradition and instruments such as Weissman and Bothwell's Social Adjustment Scale, it gives social workers a structured, quantifiable account of psychosocial functioning that goes beyond symptoms to capture the person-in-environment outcomes at the heart of social work.
