title: Evaluation and treatment of families at the Fort Logan Mental Health Center.
abstract: The evaluation and treatment of families at the Fort Logan Mental Health Center is described. There is considerable variation in the techniques used by the different treatment teams. The most widely used treatment technique is "multiple family group therapy" or "conjoint family group therapy." A number of trends are described: there is an increasing community orientation with many evaluations being done in homes, a wider extended family group being involved, and so on. There is an increasing tendency to view the locus of illness as being in the family rather than within the identified patient.
