Consensas Rorschach Test (CRT) was adiministrated twice before (S1) and after (S2) family therapy. And change of communication proccess within the family through verbal expression was compared between S1 and S2.

　Results are as follows,

1. Verbal expression in S2, number of the utterance increase and speech of members continue much more.

2. In the content of the utterance in S2, "rejection" "command" and "question" (negative expression ) are decreased, and "agreement" "emphasis" and" explanation" (positive exoretion ) are increased.

3. Reasonable consensus in the family have made up in S2.

4. In S1, father intends to get leadership, gets rejection from IP and fails to get leadership finally. However rejection from IP disappeared in S2.
