A MULTISYSTEMS APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF A BLACK, INNER‐CITY FAMILY WITH A SCHIZOPHRENIC MOTHER

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. 1990 American Orthopsychiatric Association
