Purpose The aim of the narrative is to describe the therapeutic process and experience from a psychiatric nursing perspective, in therapeutic communication, with a father and his son in acute psychiatry. Methods In this case scenario, the Family Strength‐Oriented Therapeutic Conversation Intervention (FAM‐SOTC Intervention) was used. Findings The FAM‐SOTC Intervention was found to be beneficial for the father‐son relationship. Practice Implication It is encouraging for nurses in acute psychiatry to know that three short therapeutic conversations can make a difference within the family system. FAM‐SOTC seemed to offer cognitive and emotional support to the father‐and‐son dyad.
