The family is usually the primary provider of care for the terminally ill patient with cancer or other serious progressive illness. The way in which such a family functions is a major determinant of psychological well-being for its members. Through screening with the Family Relationships Index (FRI) (Moos and Moos, 1981), dysfunctional families and those at risk can be identified, and then helped to achieve better family functioning, thus improving psychosocial outcome of their grief. In this paper, we describe the techniques and themes involved in the application of our empirically developed model of family grief therapy, designed as a preventive intervention for use in the setting of palliative care and bereavement.
家庭通常是癌症或其他严重进行性疾病晚期患者的主要照料者。这样一个家庭的运作方式是其成员心理健康的主要决定因素。通过使用家庭关系指数（FRI）（莫斯和莫斯，1981年）进行筛查，可以识别功能失调的家庭和有风险的家庭，然后帮助他们实现更好的家庭功能，从而改善他们悲伤情绪的心理社会结果。在本文中，我们描述了我们根据经验开发的家庭悲伤治疗模型应用中涉及的技术和主题，该模型旨在作为一种预防性干预措施，用于姑息治疗和哀伤辅导环境。
