Training Child Psychiatrists in Family-Based Integrated Care

摘要

Family-based assessment and intervention are essential skills for child psychiatrists that are often neglected in fellowship training. The Brown Model for Family Therapy Training described here has evolved during the past 15 years. It is a model for training residents in family-based integrated care (FBIC), which has data to support postgraduate perception of positive impact on real-world practice. Effective training in FBIC has value for clinicians, families, and systems of care wanting to respond to the growing evidence in child psychiatry about the power of family environment, beliefs, and relationships in promoting child mental health.
