Abstract
The involvement of patients and families in the definition of care plan is not only a right, but
also an essential element to ensure health protection.
For mental health practitioners it could be really difficult to work consistently with the
theoretical framework of participation-
The Family Group Conference model, originated in New Zealand in the end of’80s and
internationally widespread, can be an effective way of working to involve the patient, his/her
family and the other significant relationship. During a sequence of meetings, families, in collaboration
with professionals, work to define a common health care plan. This is the result of a
dialogical exchange between technical and experiential knowledge.
The paper, after presenting the model in its general features, offers an analysis of the
same within the specific context of mental health.
