“…Further, the low rates in the psychoeducational multifamily cell are consistent with results reported in older, longer-term, nonexperimental clinical reports (Berman, 1966;Lansky et al, 1978;Levin, 1966;Lurie & Ron, 1972). We compensated for this weakness by extending the period of observation to 4 years, a period that is unusual among prospective, experimental clinical trials of psychiatric treatments.…”

“…For instance, Lurie and Ron (1972) reported decreasing rates of relapse at 2 (19%) and 3 years (12%) in multiple-family groups in which the general philosophy and technique were similar to the FDMFG approach.

“…Sporadic clinical reports throughout the intervening period have described therapeutic processes and positive outcomes that appear to be specific to the modality (Berman, 1966;Lansky, Bley, McVey, & Botram, 1978;Levin, 1966;Lurie & Ron, 1972). Observations of patient improvement, especially in social functioning, spurred Laqueur (1972), Detre, Sayer, Norton, and Lewis (1961), Beels (1975), and others to develop treatment programs with MFGs as a central component for patients with schizophrenia.…”

Psychoeducational Multiple Family Groups: Four‐Year Relapse Outcome in Schizophrenia

et al. 1995

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Earlier studies of family psychoeducation and clinical reports on multiple family groups (MFGs) have reported substantial reductions in relapse rates for patients with schizophrenia. These groups offer an expanded social network and thereby may confer a margin of protection against relapse. However, to date, there has not been an empirical trial of this modality. The advent of family psychoeducational and behavioral management strategies provided the basis for an experimental, three-way comparison of psychoeducational MFGs to psychoeducation in a single-family format and to MFGs without psychoeducation, using symptomatic relapse as the outcome criterion. After 4 years, the psychoeducational MFGs were significantly more effective in extending remission than the single-family format, while the MFGs without psychoeducation approximated outcome in the psychoeducational MFGs. The respective relapse rates at 4 years were 50%, 78%, and 57%; MFGs averaged 12.5% and 14% per year. These results point toward an enhanced and independent, long-term therapeutic effect for multiple family groups, when combined with antipsychotic medication and psychoeducation, with especially promising cost-effectiveness.

Family Process

This review focuses upon multiple family group therapy, its origin in the intersection of family and group therapies, its use in a variety of settings, its specific techniques and group development in individual and ongoing meetings, its goals and dominant themes, its parallels in family and group work. Also discussed are evaluation of outcome of this therapy modality and those dynamics thought to contribute to family change. Areas for further investigation are outlined.

“…Both Lurie and Ron (1972) and Summar and Wilkins (1973) emphasized the need for the establishment of close ties with patients' families and "significant others" to insure active involvement and to facilitate a therapeutic natural environment. Clark and Furzecott (1974) have provided 11 principles considered to be important in the administration of their day-care program.…”

This article describes and evaluates the treatment effectiveness of a behaviorally oriented intermediate day‐care clinic for adults with psychiatric disturbances. The goals of the program included reducing the number of psychiatric hospital admissions and readmissions, providing a community‐based controlled environment to assist patients in the modification of specific problem behavior, improving interpersonal relations with “significant others” in the natural environment, teaching patients how to use community resources, and preparing them for employment and/or continued outpatient treatment. The program was structured so that patients advance through a series of four achievement levels for a variety of extrinsic and intrinsic reinforcers. While in the program, patients were introduced to available community resources, and were gradually phased into follow‐up services. Results showed that 79% of all patients thus far treated partially, if not completely, advanced through the levels. There was also a high probability that a patient would advance from any given level. Outside‐clinic behavior showed sustained improvement, with the authors concluding that the day‐care clinic offered promise for the future.
