ABSTRACT

Different interventions that family therapists can offer to clients and patients can help them establish a different relationship with the illness and, as a consequence, often avoid devastating complications brought on by the inability to control blood glucose levels. Self-help coping strategies are well noted. In one setting, the solution-focused model and ideas have shown to work well in a group developed at a university setting with family therapists. This approach incorporates a multidisciplinary approach (Davis & Biltz, 1998) to patient care.
