  • "Publisher's description: For the families of persons with schizophrenia and other chronic mental health problems, psychoeducational groups offer a powerful means of improving coping skills, reducing stress, and providing guidance to enhance caregiving. Empirical research also shows that participation in such groups has positive long-term effects on patients' interpersonal functioning, ability to work, and clinical stability. This volume provides a complete guide to the multifamily psychoeducational approach. Written by pioneering schizophrenia treatment developer William R. McFarlane, the book first lays out the theoretical and empirical foundations of the model. Chapters coauthored by McFarlane and other leading clinician-researchers then provide detailed 'how-to' instructions for forming groups that include patients and family members implementing educational and problem-solving interventions and managing the clinical, relationship, and functional issues that may arise. Also addressed are applications of the model--some of which are described here for the first time--to a variety of other disorders, including bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, borderline personality disorder, and medical illness."
