... a very good resource and collection of links for any who are looking for more information on the Open Dialogue approach, either as a form of treatment for themselves or a loved one.

Quote:

The Open Dialog method has the best reported outcomes for any method of assisting those who are beginning to show “psychotic symptoms.” Rather than relying primarily on medications, it aims to facilitate dialog throughout a person’s close social network. You can find out a lot about it just by clicking on the links below.
