Family Centered

The patient-centered medical home is a strong model of care that can be improved by harnessing the power of the patient’s family. This chapter highlights a three-step model of family involvement in patient care: (1) family inclusion, (2) family education and support, and (3) family systems therapy. The model is grounded in evidence-based research and incorporates the essential components of integrated care. A clinical case example illustrates how to involve the family in a stepwise progression. This model of family-centered care is applicable in any health care setting.

Over Time

Family treatment court (FTC) is an example of an increasing number of problem‐centered courts currently operating in the United States. Problem‐centered courts such as FTC encompass the ideas of therapeutic jurisprudence but operate within the broader court system. Presented are the results of an FTC case study that seeks to understand the evolution of courtroom norms and practice over time. Observations of courtroom interactions and interviews with courtroom personnel show that initial observations are consistent with the ideals of therapeutic jurisprudence. However, over time, daily demands and pressures on the courtroom undermine the therapeutic approach.

An 18-month study of a Washington State Family Treatment Court reveals that the potential harmful stigma of ‘bad parent’, ‘addict’ and ‘offender’ are managed through interactions between the courtroom treatment team and court clients. Findings show how court interactions and practice bring restorative justice into the mainstream court system by managing the stigma associated with justice system supervision. Lessons learned from Family Treatment Court provide important consideration for mainstreaming therapeutic and restorative practice into the courtroom and the examination of interactions between court clients and courtroom personnel demonstrate how to translate stigma management from theory into practice</em></span>.</p>
