Listening to what patients and their families want
Communication just didn’t happen
at the time we needed it
Professionals don’t always believe what carers sayConfidentiality
can be a real pain
Can we make
access to services faster?
The first contact is of
critical important

Origins of Open Dialogue• Initiated in Finnish Western Lapland since
early 1980’s
• Need-Adapted approach – Yrjö Alanen
• Integrating systemic family therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy
Open Dialogue… A Different Approach
The patient’s family, friends and social network are seen as “ partners in the recovery process from day one" (Seikkula & Arnkil 2006)
Open Dialogue
– empowering, not replacing social networks– Every Crisis is an opportunity– Staff trained in social network engagement– consistency of care throughout the patient
journey
Use of the approach in Finland has shown comparatively impressive results and rates of recovery, including improvement to social
inclusion and reduction in hospitalisation
78%first episode psychosis return to work/study 19%
relapsed within 5 years
(Reference: Seikkula et al. 2006)
Immediate Help
• First meeting in 24 hours• Crisis service for 24 hours• All participate from the outset• Psychotic stories are discussed in open dialogue with
everyone present• The patient reaches something of the ”not-yet-said”
Social Network Perspective
• Those who define the problem should be included into the treatment process
• A joint discussion and decision on who knows about the problem, who could help and who should be invited into the treatment meeting
• Family, relatives, friends, fellow workers and other authorities
Flexibility and Mobility
The response is need-adapted to fit the special and changing needs of every patient and their social network
The place for the meeting is jointly decided From institutions to homes, to working places, to
schools, to polyclinics etc.
Responsibility
The one who is first contacted is responsible for arranging the first meeting
The team takes charge of the whole process regardless of the place of the treatment
All issues are openly discussed between the doctor in charge and the team
Psychological Continuity• An integrated team, including both outpatient and
inpatient staff, is formed• The meetings as often as needed• The meetings for as long period as needed• The same team both in the hospital and in the
outpatient setting• In the next crisis the core of the same team• Not to refer to another place
Tolerance of Uncertainty
• To build up a scene for a safe enough process • To promote the psychological resources of the
patient and those nearest him/her• To avoid premature decisions and treatment plans • To define open
Dialogism• promoting dialogue is primary and, indeed, the focus of
treatment. “the dialogical conversation is seen as a forum where families and patients have the opportunity to increase their sense of agency in their own lives.”
• This represents a fundamental culture change in the way we talk to and about patients. All staff are trained in a range of psychological skills, with elements of social network, systemic and family therapy at its core
