Systemic ideas to alcohol dependence: Reflections on an integrative model

Abstract

This paper discusses the contribution of systemic family therapy and theory within the context of a statutory community alcohol service. Systemic couples and family therapy is integrated with conventional models of intervention for alcohol related problems. Potential problems and solutions in developing a multi‐modal approach is discussed, primarily establishing well defined pathways and communication between the various facilities within the same service.
