The impact of family approaches in understanding and treating psychopathology is reviewed for the following disorders: schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychoactive substance use disorders, eating disorders, and conduct disorders in children. Family‐oriented interventions are concluded to be useful in treating disorders when applied flexibly and multi‐dimensionally and when used in conjunction with psychopharmacological or other valid individual treatment approaches.
