What do We Know about Family Interventions for Psychosis at the Process Level? A Systematic Review

Further research should focus on linkages between process and outcome, and a better understanding of changes attributable to specific strategies (Lebow, 2014;Sexton & Datachi, 2014;Sexton et al, 2011).
