Work with the family has traditionally been claimed as the domain of social work within the hospital setting. The difficulties of expanding the scope of clinical work to systematically include the family and its needs as integral to meeting the patients' psychosocial needs can be attributed in part to the absence of a conceptual model that encompasses the patient, the impact of the illness, the family and the hospital. The authors propose a paradigm to address these multiple variables with their attendant treatment implications.
在医院环境中，与患者家属合作传统上一直被视为社会工作的范畴。将临床工作范围扩大到系统地把患者家属及其需求纳入其中，作为满足患者心理社会需求不可或缺的一部分，其困难部分可归因于缺乏一个涵盖患者、疾病影响、患者家属和医院的概念模型。作者提出了一个范式来处理这些多变量及其相关的治疗意义。
