This volume examines various disorders that can afflict families: schizophrenia and other mental illnesses, drug abuse, alcoholism and child neglect. Characteristics of families with schizophrenic members are probed, and both the `planned change' therapeutic approach and brief therapy for treating families with a member diagnosed as mentally ill are presented. Also considered are guidelines for conducting treatment with families of alcoholics and drug abusers from a structural strategic orientation.
