“…With regard to illegal substance disorders , an older study showed that structural FT was equally efficacious as GT for relatives of the index patient (Ziegler‐Driscoll, 1977). In a new trial, solution‐focused GT was as efficacious as traditional problem‐focused GT with regard to substance abuse, but more efficacious for comorbid conditions like depression (Smock et al, 2008).…”

Systemic therapy is a widely used psychotherapy approach. Yet there exist few systematic reviews on its efficacy. A meta-content analysis was performed to analyze the efficacy of systemic therapy for the treatment of mental disorders in adulthood. All randomized (or matched) controlled trials (RCT) evaluating systemic/systems oriented therapy in various settings (family, couple, individual, group, multifamily group therapy) with adult index patients suffering from mental disorders were identified by database searches and cross-references in other reviews. Inclusion criteria were: index patient diagnosed with a DSM or ICD listed mental disorder, trial published in any language up to the end of 2008. The RCTs were content analyzed according to their research methodology, interventions applied, and results. Thirty-eight trials published in English, German, Spanish, and Chinese were identified, 34 of them showing systemic therapy to be efficacious for the treatment of mood disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, mental and social factors related to medical conditions and physical disorders, and schizophrenia. Systemic therapy may also be efficacious for anxiety disorders. Results were stable across follow-up periods of up to 5 years. There is a sound evidence-base for the efficacy of systemic therapy for adult index patients with mental disorders in at least five diagnostic groups.

“…Although a small number of studies show mixed results for family‐based treatment’s effects on drug‐abusing clients (e.g., Friedman, 1989; Stanton, Steier, Cook, & Todd, 1984; Ziegler‐Driscoll, 1977), there is no question that substance abuse treatment is effective (Hubbard & French, 1991; Rowe & Liddle, 2002; Stanton & Shadish, 1997) and that certain family‐based treatments are effective (O’Farrell & Fals‐Stewart, 2003). But are family‐based treatments cost‐effective?…”

In order to compete in a financially sensitive health care system, family systems-based treatments must demonstrate effective clinical results as well as cost-effectiveness. Cost-effectiveness research can demonstrate to health care insurers and policy makers which treatments are viable options for implementation. The present literature review identified eight cost-effectiveness family-based substance abuse treatment studies. The results suggest that certain family-based treatments are cost-effective and warrant consideration for inclusion in health care delivery systems.

“…Unfortunately, however, in only a minority of the published articles has an attempt been made to assess effectiveness. Of the 68 applicable studies or programs (described in 74 papers), 8 simply mention the efficacy of their techniques, 20 present case studies, and only 14 quantify their outcomes; only 6 of these 14 provide comparative data, either with other forms of treatment or with control groups (63, 103, [111, 118, 119], 134, 136, 137). Table I presents the various papers under several subheadings.…”

“…One of the few studies with both control and comparison groups was performed at a therapeutic community and hospital for people addicted to drugs and alcohol (137, 138, 139). It was adjunctive to a large clinical investigation of the efficacy of combining programs for drug addicts and alcoholics.…”

“…The family treatment was, in the true sense of the word, exploratory, as three of the four therapists had had no experience as family therapists, the fourth had had minimal experience, and all of the therapy supervisors were new to the field of addiction; they were setting about to learn what “works” with these patients within this context. Ziegler‐Driscoll (137) presents preliminary data on the cases that were included early in the sample period. At four‐to six‐month follow‐up no differences were found among the three groups as to number of patients who were abstinent from all drugs.…”

This review covers the literature that has emerged specifically on the family treatment of drug abuse problems. Following a brief discussion of patterns and structures prevalent in drug-abusing families, 68 different studies or programs (discussed in 74 papers) are compared as to their techniques and results. These are categorized within the following modalities: marital treatment, group treatment for parents, concurrent parent and identified patient treatment, treatment with individual families (both inpatient and outpatient), sibling-oriented treatment, multiple family therapy, and social network therapy. A table presents the various studies, along with the types of results they provide. Outcomes are contrasted for the 14 studies that quantified their results. The final section presents implications for the following areas: treatment activities (clarification of technique, family recruitment, direction and effectiveness of treatment, confidentiality, and treatment delivery systems), training, prevention, and future research (outcome, technique and responsibility). It is concluded that family treatment for drug abuse is gaining widespread acceptance and shows considerable promise for dealing effectively with problems of this type.
