Abstract

When young adults are confronted with anxiety or depression these troubles are embedded in their developmental phase. This article describes a specific multifamily intervention method developed at the psychothera-peutic ward of the University Hospital of Leuven. Literature describes many links between family and depression, although their seems to be a lack in the research concerning the specific place of family therapy in the treatment of young adults suffering from depression or anxiety. We describe the specific goals, group composition, organisation and methods based on five consecutive multifamily groups of inward and daycare patients. jóvenes y sus familias. Durante las conversaciones en grupo se créa la ocasión para el intercambio, lo que ofrece a los participantes la oportunidad de encontrar nuevas formas de expresión. Los terapeútas ponen especial atención en transformar quejas en deseos constructivos, y en evitar percepciones en términos de patología. Los terapeútas promueven la apertura de nuevas posibilidades a través de la búsqueda de dife-rentes significados para una misma palabra, para el mismo suceso.
