This presentation starts with an account of the process that developed the Leeds Family Therapy and Research Centre “Leeds Systemic Therapy Manual (2000)”. The Manual was a product of a well-funded research project which is briefly described. The features that enabled it to be used flexibly by many different therapists and the checks to ensure it fairly represented current practice in training institutes throughout England are also presented. This process is contrasted with other manuals which are produced by skilled and experienced therapists, some of whom have used outcome measures to check whether their therapy is effective, recording their procedures. Two perspectives on manuals are offered: 1. as a public description of consensus systemic practice as practised; secondly in attachment terms as a secure base which gives the therapist latitude for playful creativity. These perspectives are examined in relation to a major difficulty in using manuals to define the therapy used in a research context: that of adherence to the specifications in the manual. Surprisingly, in the case of the LFTRC manual, many practising therapists found the necessarily prescriptive nature of the Adherence Manual to be a very effective support for developing their practice. Finally, as an example of making practical use of the available manuals, I describe how we used them to identify and specify 254 competences widely used by systemic therapists.
