The evidence base for couple therapy, family therapy and systemic interventions for adult‐focused problems
Open AccessThis review updates similar articles published in JFT in 2000 and 2009. It presents evidence from meta‐analyses, systematic literature reviews and controlled trials for the effectiveness of couple and family therapy for adults with various relationship and mental health problems. The evidence supports the effectiveness of systemic interventions, either alone or as part of multi‐modal programmes, for relationship distress, psychosexual problems, intimate partner violence, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, alcohol problems, schizophrenia and adjustment to chronic physical illness.
