family therapy for adult psychopathology  

Definición

  • Psychiatric disorders, like physical illnesses, can have a profound effect on the family, and conversely, family support can have a major impact on the course and outcome of both types of disorders. Family therapy for adult psychopathology describes the use of psychotherapeutic treatments focused on the entire family, rather than just on the individual, to improve the management and outcome of a mental illness in one or more of its members.
