“…As a result, patients are discharged much sooner, recovery was found to be more complete and durable with greater reduction of stigma (Bhatti et al 1980). In addition, a report from Qatar has shown that patients diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia, residing in extended families, were seen earlier in their course of illness and had less likelihood of deteriorated, socially withdrawn courses, as compared with patients residing in nuclear families (El-Islam, 1979).…”

To investigate the predictors of employment status of patients with DSM-III-R diagnosis, 55 patients were selected by a simple random technique from the main psychiatric clinic in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Structured and formal assessments were carried out to extract the potential predictors of outcome of schizophrenia. Logistic regression model revealed that being married, absence of schizoid personality, free or with minimum symptoms of the illness, later age of onset, and higher educational attainment were the most significant predictors of employment outcome. The implications of the results of this study are discussed in the text.

“…[40] Subsequent work by researchers[41–43] showed the usefulness of involving families in the management of a variety of psychiatric disorders including marital discord, hysteria and psychosis. In the late 1980s, the center developed Indian tools for working in the field of family therapy, notable amongst which are the Family Interaction Pattern Scale, the Family Topology Scale[4445] and the Marital Quality Scale. [46] In the late 1980s and 1990s the center started training post graduates in psychiatry in concepts and schools of family therapy and started orienting itself to structured rather than generic family therapy.…”

Indian society is collectivistic and promotes social cohesion and interdependence. The traditional Indian joint family, which follows the same principles of collectivism, has proved itself to be an excellent resource for the care of the mentally ill. However, the society is changing with one of the most significant alterations being the disintegration of the joint family and the rise of nuclear and extended family system. Although even in today's changed scenario, the family forms a resource for mental health that the country cannot neglect, yet utilization of family in management of mental disorders is minimal. Family focused psychotherapeutic interventions might be the right tool for greater involvement of families in management of their mentally ill and it may pave the path for a deeper community focused treatment in mental disorders. This paper elaborates the features of Indian family systems in the light of the Asian collectivistic culture that are pertinent in psychotherapy. Authors evaluate the scope and effectiveness of family focused psychotherapy for mental disorders in India, and debate the issues and concerns faced in the practice of family therapy in India.

“…The family therapy unit at our centre has been functioning for a decade now, and a description of its organisation and philosophy has been reported earlier (Bhatti et al 1980). In India, the need to involve the family of the patient in treatment is beyond dispute but the degree to which the family members may need to be involved is likely to vary.…”

The authors report the findings of an evaluation exercise to assess the efficacy of brief, integrative, inpatient family therapy with a follow-up period of two years. The index patients and their families were assessed for improvement in symptoms and satisfaction in family life. The assessment was possible for 55% of the families, either in person or by post. Nearly 43% of the families reported good improvement, 8% reported no improvement at all and the remaining families reported varying degrees of improvement. Regularity of follow up visits and degree of improvement did not seem to be related. One fifth of the families had not reported for any follow up visits, but when assessed after two years reported good improvement and satisfaction with the treatment.
