“…These include conduct problems in children (Serketich & Dumas, 1996;Kazdin, 1998), drug and alcohol misuse in adolescents and adults (Edwards & Steinglass, 1995;Waldron, 1996;Stanton & Shadish, 1997) and marital distress (Jacobson & Addis, 1993;Dunn & Schwebel, 1995;Baucom et al, 1998). Controlled trials have shown the effectiveness of systemic therapy interventions in childhood asthma (Lask & Matthew, 1979;Gustafsson et al, 1986), enuresis and soiling (Houts et al, 1994;Silver et al, 1998), oppositional behaviour problems (Serketich & Dumas, 1996) and a whole range of other presentations and conditions in children and their families (Carr, 2000a). Systemic family and couple therapy has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of eating disorders, psychotic illnesses and mood disorders.…”

The family and therapyThe term family therapy can be misleading. ‘Family’ is open to many interpretations, if not attacks, because it is frequently read as implying a two-parent, heterosexual couple with two children, with the woman primarily the ‘homemaker’ and the man the ‘breadwinner’, with occasional backup from the grandparents. Such a picture would seem to marginalise or exclude other family forms, such as childless couples, single parents with children, gay or lesbian couples and unattached elderly persons. However, the reality is that family therapists treat many different forms of committed relationships and friendships. As to the term therapy, it tends to imply the presence of illness or dysfunction, located in the family rather than one of its individual members, and may thus be quite unacceptable to families who often believe that it is the patient and not them whom requires help. Being at the receiving end of family therapy can have strong connotations of blame. Practitioners therefore increasingly use the term systemic therapy, which is also more informative because some of the work often involves the wider system. The systemic approach is essentially a contextual approach – seeing and treating people in context.

“…Children with epilepsy whose families report a sense of mastery, good social support, and low stress have fewer behavior problems than children whose families are less well adjusted (69). Parents with more positive attitudes toward their child's epilepsy engage in more positive coping behaviors, which may have a positive impact on (23)(24)(25)(26).…”

Family Interactions as Targets for Intervention to Improve Social Adjustment After Epilepsy Surgery

Summary: Purpose: To identify family interactions associated with psychosocial outcome of epilepsy surgery, to design interventions to improve patient outcome.Methods: A cross-sectional, case series study of relations among observed family behavior and psychosocial outcome of 43 patients after temporal lobectomy. Videotaped family behavior during family discussion tasks was rated for predominant family affect, affective range, and support of patient autonomy. Multiple regression analyses tested the relation of observed family characteristics to outcomes, controlling for seizure control and other psychological and disease characteristics.Results: Predominant family affect predicted patients' social adjustment independent of postoperative seizure status and other disease characteristics. The relation between predominant affect and social adjustment was stronger among patients with persisting complex partial seizures (CPSs; r = -0.91), versus patients with auras (r = -0.38) and seizure-free patients (r = -0.28; multiple R = 0.71; p < 0.05). Families with a positive affective climate supported patients' autonomy.Conclusions: Two potential targets were identified for family intervention to improve postsurgical social adjustment: (a) family interactions that support a predominantly positive affective climate, and (b) family interactions that support patient autonomy. These findings are consistent with findings in normal and other clinical populations. They identify specific interactions that give rise to positive versus negative affective climate and support versus undermining of autonomy. These results lay the groundwork for intervention studies targeting these specific family interactions. Such intervention studies would clarify the direction of effect of the observed relationships and would test the efficacy of family intervention for improving psychosocial outcomes for patients with epilepsy.

“…There is also some relevance of specific programmes for tobacco reduction, with use of psychotherapy, particularly in the cognitive and family therapy fields. These studies took a privileged focus on the control and treatment in daily life, of this complex chronic disease (Irvine et al, 1999;Silagy, 1999;Gustafsson & Cederblad, 1986;Lask & Matthew, 1979;Sun et al, 2010). Another important aspect is the identification of some specific characteristics of these patients (in terms of severity, personality and even psychological aspects) in subpopulations that most benefit from these education programmes.…”
