Multiple Family Group Therapy Interventions in Coping with Chronic Diseases

Abstract

Chronic illness, which causes serious problems on the well-being of individuals, often require lifelong treatment. This has important effects on family lives. In the face of these effects on the family life cycle, such as illness, the family must maintain functioning in new and different situations. In the fulfillment of this function, multi-family group therapy has been one of the areas of intervention in recent years. Multi-family group therapy is a term used to describe therapy in which more than one family occurs in a group setting, particularly in families with chronic diseases. In this study, multiple family group therapy is discussed within the framework of the basic concepts and application areas.
