  1. Agree to certain important rules for the conducting of family meetings. For these rules I am indebted to two of the important advisers in the field of counseling families, David Bork and Lee Hausner. David Bork sets out the Basque rules for holding a meeting, which I paraphrase as: Show up. Come to the meeting alert, ready to work, and having read any premeeting materials. Listen attentively. Don't interrupt the speaker, listen carefully, and be able to play back to the speaker what you heard to assure him or her you understood what was said.
