Abstract
M.A.
The problem identified as the focus of this study, is the absence of
standardized measurement instruments in the Afrikaans Language, for use in
social work practice in South Africa.
This study focuses on two indices that form part of the "Clinical

and the Index of Family Relations. The aims of this study are
to translate the indices into Afrikaans and to adapt them to South
African circumstances;
to determine the construct validity as well as the content validity of
each index;
to determine the reliability of each index
to formulate new items to include in the indices if necessary ...
