问题 Scientists have long been trying to find an effective way to treat drug users. However, most of the efforts have been fell flat, with treatment results not encouraging. Scientists do not give up, and continue with their researches. Until the end of last century, some new treatment methods were found. Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) is one of them. It is a brief intervention used to treat adolescent drug use that occurs with other problem behaviors. These co-occurring problem behaviors include conduct problems at home and at school.
    BSFT is based on three basic principles. The first is that BSFT is a family system approach. Family system means that family members are interdependent: What affects one family member affects other family members. According to family system theory, the drug-using adolescent is a family member who displays symptoms, including drug use and related co-occurring problem behaviors. These symptoms are indicative, at least in part, of what else is going on in the family system.
    The second BSFT principle is that the patterns of interaction in the family influence the behavior of each family member. Patterns of interaction are defined as the sequential behaviors among family members that become habitual and repeat over time. An example: an adolescent tries to attract the attention of his/her parents when they are fighting because he/she wants to disrupt the fight.
    The role of the BSFT counselor is to identify the patterns of family interaction that are associated with the adolescent’s behavior problems. For example, a mother and grandmother who are arguing about establishing rules and consequences for a problem never reach an agreement because the adolescent disrupts their arguments with self-destructive attempts to get attention.
    Therefore, the third principle of BSFT is to plan interventions that carefully target and provide practical ways to change those patterns of interaction that are directly linked to the adolescent’s drug use and other problem behaviors. The three principles seem plausible, but the therapy’s effectiveness needs to be proved by more evidence.
According to the passage, the function of Brief Strategic Family Therapy is to ______.
选项 A、establish the closer relationship within family
B、cure diseases caused by adult drug abuse
C、help family members live with mutual understanding
D、treat adolescent drug use
答案D
解析 细节题，这个题目所涉及的信息可以在文中第一段找到，B选项比较容易错选，新的治疗方式并非为了医治由毒品使用引发的疾病，而是要帮助吸毒者戒毒，并克服由毒品引发的行为问题，因此选项D符合原文的内容
