title: Multiple-family groups and psychoeducation in the treatment of schizophrenia.
abstract: Recent studies suggest that the multiple-family group is a preferable vehicle for assisting families and treating and rehabilitating persons with schizophrenia within a psychoeducational clinical framework. This approach is probably the most cost-effective treatment for schizophrenia developed since antipsychotic medication.
