The evidence base for Multiple Family Therapy in psychiatric disorders: a review (part 1)
This article provides an updated and comprehensive overview of the empirical literature regarding Multiple Family Therapy (MFT)'s applications to major psychiatric disorders. It shows that MFT's strongest evidence base is for schizophrenia and chronic psychoses, making its psychoeducational model one of the best available practices for these disorders. There is also a growing body of evidence regarding the usefulness of MFT for mood disorders (particularly in children), eating disorders and alcohol‐substance abuse, but more controlled research is needed for these conditions. Other disorders such as anxiety disorders, aut...

Taking conversations forward: a systemic exercise for teams threatened by service restructures
This paper describes a systemic exercise for clinical staff facing multiple changes to team structure and threats to their sense of belonging. The exercise was adapted from a consultation intervention that addressed a team's resourcefulness in responding to behaviours that challenge in intellectual disabilities (Smyly, 2006). As clinical psychology trainees from outside the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), we aimed to facilitate a context in which staff could share past experiences of collectively overcoming challenges, and in this way nourish a sense of belonging. Through building layers of dialogue, ta...

Long ‐term psychosocial outcomes after face transplantation: a patient's and a partner's perspective
To date, psychosocial outcomes after face transplantation are promising, although the impact on family relationships is less well investigated. Depressive and anxiety symptoms, resilience, spousal support, dyadic adjustment, family functioning of a patient and the partner were assessed before, and two, three and four years after the face transplantation. Most psychological, marital and family scores of both partners remained within a normative and healthy range at follow‐up. Resilience, affective responsiveness, illness cognitions, physical quality of life, and family affective responsiveness and communication of the pat...

Evidence base for Multiple Family Therapy (MFT) in non ‐psychiatric conditions and problems: a review (part 2)
This article provides an updated overview of the empirical literature regarding Multiple Family Therapy's (MFT) applications to non‐psychiatric conditions and problems. Although the evidence is not as strong for these disorders as for psychiatric disorders, the benefits of MFT approaches are apparent in the following areas: family management of several severe chronic medical illnesses; prevention of educational failure and exclusion; and treatment of marital distress. MFT research in non‐psychiatric settings has been faced with unique challenges that have mitigated the quality and quantity of outcome and process resear...
