The place of family therapy in adult clinical psychiatry remains unclear, despite considerable theoretical developments in the subject. In order to delineate the potential role of a family therapeutic approach, a study was conducted of the first 50 families treated in a newly established family-therapy clinical located in an adult psychiatric hospital.
