On June 18, 2001, we asked 17 adults at the La Jolla PARTS meeting who met the criteria
of having attended a minimum of four PARTS meetings – and who had an adolescent who
also attended at least four PARTS meetings to assess their progress. Names were
omitted to preserve anonymity. (Compiled by Frank Patti, M.F.T., Clinical Director, PARTS
San Diego)
Other than at the 3-month duration, PARTS families that remain involved have better
results.
