As a result of the passage of Public Law 96-272, home-based family services have proliferated throughout the United States, with family therapy playing a vital role. Voices of therapists providing these services have been absent from literature. Ten therapists participated in this study; each had experience providing home-based and clinic-based family therapy. A qualitative strategy was used to explore therapists' perspectives on factors regarding home-based family preservation services. Four themes emerged from semistructured interviews: the home environment, safety, context preference, and efficiency and effectiveness. Three recommendations are drawn from results and discussed.
