From BBC News. “Involving a patient’s family and friends as part of a new approach to mental health treatment makes it three times less likely they will be admitted to psychiatric hospital, research has found.
Patients rated their recovery and quality of life more highly than those who were treated in the traditional way, the study published in The Lancet Psychiatry also found.
It is the first major study of Open Dialogue, a way of providing treatment and organising mental health services that involves focusing on the patient’s priorities, seeing the same clinicians, and involving people close to them.”
