Bringing 6 - 8 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 8 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 will include 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"-- Aims and basic principles -- Does it work and how can we make it work better? -- Basic techniques -- Mentalizing and MFT: A match made in heaven? -- Making Contexts for Interventions -- Specific MFT-Activities -- Engaging with Culture in Multi Family Groups -- MFT projects in Mental Health Settings -- MFT projects in Social Services settings -- MFT-projects in Schools -- Problem corner: what to do, if and when....? -- Looking back and looking ahead...
