Severe, chronic or even fatal illnesses are one of the largest<br />
stress sources, which we as involved persons have<br />
to cope with. Not only the patient but also his environment<br />
needs some form of help and support in this situation.<br />
The involvement of family and friends in therapy<br />
helps anyone to endure the burdens and uncertainties,<br />
which an illness typically causes.<br />
The systemic family medicine focuses on the impacts<br />
of physical illness on the patient’s life and the family’s<br />
interpersonal relationships. It combines bio-psychosocial<br />
and systemic perspectives and at the same time<br />
uses them for the work with patients, families, the<br />
employees of medical institutions, self-help groups and<br />
social services.<br />
In this introduction Susanne Altmeyer and Askan Hendrischke<br />
provide practical reference to when and how<br />
the family system should be involved in treatment. They<br />
differentiate between the various phases of the illness<br />
and they describe the possible challenges which may<br />
arise during those single stages. Numerous practical<br />
examples illustrate the therapeutic approach.<br />
