A flexible and integrated approach to family interventions

This article focuses on a case study of family interventions using a co-working model, and showing a flexible, integrative approach to helping families experiencing psychosis. The authors emphasise use of cognitive behaviour and cognitive interactional models to consider the appraisals and interactional processes relating to family distress. By formulating their difficulties and mapping typical scenarios, the family reappraised thoughts and responses to reconsider more useful, alternative approaches.
