This article aims at presenting and discussing a methodology for family evaluation in a perspective of the Single Session Work which is based on a single intervention and is destined to attend the adolescent in conflict with the law. Family evaluation comprised the following objectives: to raise psychosocial information that could enable a better understanding of the characteristics of the clientele; to understand the family paradigm, identifying the elements related to the emergence of the present crisis, understanding by crisis the involvement of the adolescent with Justice; to encourage the families to establish new paradigms, capable of responding to the crisis. We believe that this methodology can be useful in the judicial context with this population of adolescents who are under socioeducative measures and do not present demands for change. We recognize the method's potential to generate information, to rescue parental bonds and to signify the delinquent act, once it is a punctual critical intervention which reactivates the potentialities and the creativity both of the family and of the technical team.

Palabras clave : Socioeducative measure; Adolescent in conflict with the law; Family evaluation; Juridical psychology; Single session work.
