Mental Illness, Delinquency, Addictions, and Neglect

Characteristics of families with schizophrenic members are probed, and both the 'planned change' therapeutic approach and brief therapy for treating families with a member diagnosed as mentally ill are presented. Also considered are guidelines for conducting treatment with families of alcoholics and drug abusers from a structural strategic orientation.Nunnally, Elam W. is the author of 'Mental Illness, Delinquency, Addictions, and Neglect' with ISBN 9780803927056 and ISBN 0803927053.
