    Supportive family counseling.

    Abstract

    Traditional family therapy has been based on theories of families as etiological agents of schizophrenia. Such a view impedes cooperative relationships between professionals and families of schizophrenic individuals. An alternative approach, supportive family counseling, is described. Its goal is to provide information, emotional support, and recognition that family members have their own needs. The difficulties facing professionals who want to engage in this form of family intervention are discussed.
