In recent years there has been increased interest in working with groups of families systemically. Multiple family therapy is applied in different settings and to a whole range of different presentations. These include work with multi‐problem families; with schools, parents and pupils; with adult mentally ill individuals and their families; and with eating‐disordered teenagers and their families. Principles and aims of multiple family therapy are presented, specific projects described and trends for future work outlined.
