(Families that scored high in the research tool including Epstein Family Function and the age of entering the research is 12 to 65 years old) 40 people were selected until theoretical saturation and were subjected to in-depth interviews, and in the second part of the statistical population to evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, including professors of psychology and counseling 15 people were selected with the entry criteria of having a doctorate degree and having at least 5 years of family-related work experience up to theoretical saturation. To determine the face validity of the tool, it was first examined among 30 families of the community, then exploratory factor analysis, first and second order factor analysis was used to confirm the research data, and Cronbach's alpha was used to measure its reliability. The findings showed that in terms of the factor structure of the 30 items of the questionnaire, it can be reduced to the components of communication skills, common goals and strategies, cohesion, spirit of effort and foresight, ability to solve problems and desire for group knowledge, as well as the results of confirmatory factor analysis.
