In Family Therapy With Patients Having Physical Health Problems, Dr. Susan H. McDaniel demonstrates her biopsychosocial systems approach to working with clients experiencing health issues. In this form of therapy, the focus is on the role medical illness plays in the client's emotional life and in the client's relationships with family members and with health professionals. In this session, Dr. McDaniel works with a 60-year-old woman with symptoms of depression. She meets with the client, her husband, and her son to help them to deal with her diagnosis. This video features a client and family members portrayed by actors on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events, stimulus questions, and notes on preceding sessions with the client
Medical family therapy is a biopsychosocial systems approach to psychotherapy with patients and families experiencing a physical illness, trauma, or disability. (The term medical pertains here to having to do with health and illness rather than "concerning physicians" as it is defined in some dictionaries.) This therapy assumes that no biomedical event occurs without psychosocial background and repercussions, and no psychosocial event occurs without some biological features.
Susan H. McDaniel, PhD, is professor of psychiatry (psychology) and family medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester, New York, where she is director of the Division of Family Programs in Psychiatry and codirector of Psychosocial Programs in Family Medicine.
