“…Preventively oriented family psychoeducational or support groups for patients and their families 6,29,30 can be designed to deal with different types of cancer. Brief psychoeducational "modules," timed for critical phases of cancer also can enable families to digest manageable portions of a longterm coping process.…”

The stresses and uncertainties of cancer can be overwhelming for families. The Family System Illness model offers a psychosocial map to address these challenges and to make the inevitable strains more manageable. It provides a set of terms and a common language within a framework that attends to the longitudinal, psychosocial pattern of a health condition within a multigenerational, life cycle, and belief system context. Such a psychosocial framework can facilitate collaborative, effective coping and adaptation, thereby enhancing the quality of life for families affected by cancer. The model's utility is discussed for research, preventive screening, family assessment, treatment planning, and service delivery in a wide range of healthcare settings.

“…Additional benefits of MFT found in other studies (e.g. improved communication, overcoming stigmatization and reduction of social isolation [34,54,55,56,57,58]) were not addressed in this study and need more investigation in depression. Future research should also pay attention to the question of economic health costs of both types of family interventions.…”

Background: Family-based interventions have been shown to be effective in the treatment of depression, but they have seldom been studied in hospitalized depressed patients. This study assesses the value of the additional use of single-family or multi-family group therapy within this patient population. Methods: Eighty-three patients were randomly assigned to: (1) the treatment programme as usual (n = 23), (2) treatment as usual combined with single-family therapy (n = 25) or (3) treatment as usual combined with multi-family group therapy (n = 35). Follow-up assessments were made at 3 months and 15 months. Results: Multi-family group and single-family therapy conditions showed significantly higher rates of treatment responders than the group receiving the usual treatment (49, 24 and 9%, respectively), and higher rates of patients no longer using antidepressant medication (26, 16 and 0%, respectively) at 15 months. Partners taking part in the family treatments were significantly more likely to notice the improvements in the emotional health of the patient early on compared to those in the treatment as usual condition. Conclusions: This study suggests that single-family and multi-family therapy may benefit hospitalized patients with major depression, and may help the partners of the patients to become aware of the patient’s improvement more quickly.

Newmark, 2002), bei Drogen-und Alkoholabhängigkeit (Kaufman u. Kaufman, 1979), bei Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörungen (Berkowitz u. Gunderson, 2002) und Bulimie (Wooley u. Lewis, 1987), bei Chorea Huntington (Murburg, Price, Jalali, 1988) und anderen Formen von chronischen organischen Erkrankungen (Gonzalez, Steinglass, Reiss, 1989) wie auch bei chronischen Schmerzzuständen (Lemmens et al 2005). Anwendungen dieses Modells gab es auch bei Kindern und Jugendlichen und deren Familien: bei verschiedenen Formen der Kindesmisshandlung und -vernachlässigung (Asen, George, Piper, Stevens, 1989), Schul-und Lernstörungen (Dawson u. McHugh, 1994), Essstörungen (Slagerman u. Yager, 1989, Dare u. Eisler, 2000, Geist et al, 2000Scholz u. Asen, 2001, Scholz et al, 2005, chronisch organisch erkrankten Kindern (Saayman, Saayman, Wiens, 2006;Steinglass, 1998;Wamboldt u. Levin 1995) und dem weiten Spektrum von emotionalen und Verhaltensstörungen im Kinder-und Jugendlichenalter (McKay et al, 2002;Schemmel, Schell, Suess-Falckenberg, Scholz, 2006). Es gibt weiterhin eine Anzahl bisher noch nicht veröffentlichter Multi-Familienprojekte mit Kindern, die verschiedene Krankheitsbilder oder Störungen präsentieren wie Asperger-Syndrom, ADH, Psychosen, Turner-Syndrom, "Schreikinder" und Gewalt in Familien.…”
