This book provides a pragmatic guide to multi-family therapy (MFT), as employed in a variety of different settings: health, social care and education. Bringing six to eight families together to work on similar issues in MFT has become an increasingly successful intervention that encourages service user-participation and moves towards a more patient- and family-centred care. This text describes the concepts, therapeutic stances, interventions and techniques of MFT, bringing together all the major recent developments in the field. Specific topics covered include how to engage families in working together with up to eight families with similar issues and problems, how to set up and conduct multi-family groups and how to evaluate and develop interventions. The book covers working with and across diverse cultures, conditions and problems and includes a chapter on different MFT exercises, activities and games. Systemic Multi-Family Therapy is written for a range of practitioners, including psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, group therapists and family therapists, and will also be relevant for most professionals working in social care and schools.
