“…This view is supported by Gi n, [7] who claim family members experienced meetings with health professionals and the treatment team were for the bene t of the clinicians, and often just fact-nding sessions for health professionals. In light of the challenges family members experience, Fossati and Somma [4] highlight that relatives of individuals with BPD should have the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art, evidence-based information on BPD and its available treatments to destigmatise the diagnosis and support the family's role in BPD development.…”

Family functioning predicts the number of drugs used by individuals [8], the propensity to use drugs [9] and relapse tendency [10].…”

Background Drug addiction is difficult to overcome. The relapse rate is high, and the negative impact on individuals, families and society is severe, therefore exploring social psychological mechanisms to reduce relapse has very important theoretical and practical value. However, the underlying mechanism by which the interaction between family and individual factors influences the tendency to relapse remain unclear. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between family intimacy and relapse tendency of people who use drugs, as well as the mediating effect of psychological capital and the role of self-efficacy in it. Methods A total of 817 male who use drugs were investigated via the Family Intimacy and Adaptability Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Relapse Tendency Questionnaire. Using Hayes’s process macro carried out moderated mediation analysis. Results (1) The average family intimacy score of people who use drugs was low. (2) Family intimacy negatively predicted relapse tendency in people who use drugs. (3) Psychological capital mediated the relationship between family intimacy and relapse tendency. (4) The first half of the indirect effect of family intimacy on relapse tendency was regulated by self-efficacy, compared with the low level of self-efficacy, the psychological capital level with high self-efficacy is higher. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that the intimacy between the people who use drugs and their family members should be improved, and the rehabilitation center should take various measures to enhance the psychological capital level and the level of self-efficacy of the people who use drugs, which will be helpful to reduce their relapse tendency.

“…Beyond the profession of music therapy, the importance of therapists adopting mentalization approaches to increase the family's capacity for reflective functioning is highlighted in the broader research into family work across clinical populations (i.e., Dimitrova et al, 2016;Fonagy, 2012;Fossati & Somma, 2018;Kalland et al, 2016;Pajulo et al, 2012;Philipp, 2012;Solbakken et al, 2011). The ability to mentalize is seen as a crucial part of parenting and is especially important when there are challenges in the child's development.…”

Music therapists have described the importance of working collaboratively with family members in various populations throughout the history of the profession. Despite the growing amount of literature, not enough is known regarding the scope of theoretical perspectives and therapeutic approaches that guide family centered music therapy. The aim of this international survey study was to better understand the professional perspectives and approaches of music therapists who work with families around the world. This article presents the results of the survey where a total of 125 responses were analysed. Participants’ responses indicated that music therapy with families is well established as an important field of practice that includes a large range of populations across the life span. Music therapists working with families emphasise that the work is holistic and flexible, both in terms of the theoretical approaches that inform their work and the methods/techniques that are included in sessions. The participants in this study advocated for more continuing professional development opportunities to further deepen and develop their practice. In addition, the survey data offers priorities and recommendations for future research.
