Abstract

Families are a fundamental resource in the recovery process of people affected by severe mental disorders. This has been repeatedly pointed out in the main worldwide clinical guidelines and treatment recommendations. There are new times for family interventions that imply new challenges. These challenges, and along the lines of the present work, are shaping a paradigm shift in the care of family members of people with psychotic spectrum disorders. This paradigm shift requires incorporating into family interventions, techniques and strategies identified by more comprehensive current models of care for severe mental disorders (ACT, Open Dialogue, dialectical behavioural therapy), considering family intervention as another component in the overall treatment strategy, and maintaining the general framework of such interventions in the model of community care and recovery centred on the person and in line with the current approach of empowerment of users. It will also be necessary to involve caregivers in family interventions, through their co-participation in the construction of new family intervention designs. The chapter presents the intervention carried out with family members of a patient diagnosed with psychosis and the different formats used in this intervention: single-family, face-to-face multi-family, and online multi-family.
