CiNii 図書 - Working in partnership : clinicians and carers in the management of longstanding mental illness

The object of this book is to persuade readers that the families of their patients should be treated both as a therapeutic resource and as a legitimate focus of professional concern. It sets out strategies that can be used to define the problems relatives may face. The approach to intervention with this group of relatives relies essentially on three techniques. The first is cognitive restructuring - the use of information of various sorts to modify the families' attitudes in a way that facilitates change by making it possible for them to try new things. The second is the provision of a safe forum in which relatives and carers can express their feelings and emotional needs. This makes it possible to defuse and contain emotions that operate to block beneficial changes in their situation. The third technique is that of problem solving. In some cases therapists may themselves suggest solutions to problems, but the ideal is to enhance the skills of families so that they can themselves deal with difficulties as they arise.
