Description of CME Course
Families are the context within which most health problems and illnesses occur, and skillful family interviewing improves health outcomes. Despite changing demographics of American families, most patients live with family members and are strongly influenced by family relationships. The family remains the most basic relational unit and intimate social environment in our society. As such, the family has a major influence on the physical and mental health of its members. Clinicians have the opportunity to anticipate and reduce the adverse effects of family stress and utilize the family as a resource in patient care. The biopsychosocial model emphasizes interrelationships between biological, interpersonal and social factors in health. It recognizes that the family is the primary source of health beliefs, health-related behaviors, stress, and emotional support.
