Summary

A provider meets with the patient’s family with the patient present to counsel the family on the psychological issues affecting the patient and the family. The provider supplies psychotherapy to the patient and his family, when individual psychotherapy sessions are not sufficient. This is done to evaluate the treatment plan and role of family members in treatment.
