There are no differences <strong>in</strong> the recovery ratios between systemic family<br />
therapy focused on problem-solv<strong>in</strong>g and multi-family psychoeducational<br />
group therapy at the end of the study (28 months) <strong>in</strong> all the people (n = 63;<br />
RR=1.72; 95% CI: between 0.91 and 3.25) or <strong>in</strong> people with mania (n = 47;<br />
RR = 1.57; IC between 0.67 and 3.68) 100 .<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of less than 5 sessions, or of unknown number, reduces relapses after<br />
one year’s treatment, after 1, 3 and 10 years’ follow-up 80 .<br />
Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of more than 5 sessions reduces hospitalisations after 18 months’<br />
follow-up 80 .<br />
There are no differences between family <strong>in</strong>tervention and standard <strong>in</strong>tervention <strong>in</strong> the<br />
reduction of hospital readmissions 2 years after f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g the treatment 8 .<br />
There is better compliance with the pharmacological treatment when the family <strong>in</strong>tervention<br />

rates 80 .<br />

relapses at 4 to 15 months’ follow-up after treatment.<br />
There are no differences between multi-family <strong>in</strong>tervention and s<strong>in</strong>gle-family <strong>in</strong>tervention<br />
<strong>in</strong> connection with relapses at 13 to 24 months 8 .<br />
There are no differences between multi-family <strong>in</strong>tervention and s<strong>in</strong>gle-family <strong>in</strong>tervention<br />
related to pharmacological treatment adherence 84 .<br />
People with schizophrenia who received s<strong>in</strong>gle-family <strong>in</strong>tervention compared with those<br />
