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 />
