title: A multisystems approach to the treatment of a black, inner-city family with a schizophrenic mother.
abstract: Many clinicians working in inner-city community mental health centers find themselves overwhelmed by the complexity of the treatment cases presented. This paper illustrates the application of a multisystems model of family therapy that allows the clinician to organize and implement a treatment plan at the nuclear family, extended family, and systems levels.
