Schizophrenia was conceptualized as a behavior taught to a child by a schizophrenogenic parent. Patients were then isolated from their families for long-term hospital care.

There are multiple ways in which the family and friends are involved in an outpatient drug rehabilitation program. Treatment includes individual and family counseling sessions held at a clinic, school, in family court, or another location in their community (e.g., a church or town hall).

Concerns that disproportionate numbers of children with serious emotional disturbance were being removed from their communities led to the development of systems of care in the 1980s. In 1992, Congress passed the Comprehensive Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program which supported the development of these systems of care.

Teams include family advocates and representatives fi om mental health, health, education, child welfare, juvenile justice, vocational rehabilitation, recreation, substance abuse, and other services. Systems of care have supported the use of mental health clinicians in schools, school- and community-based wraparound planning and services, and student support services (Woodruff et al., 1999).
