Abstract: |
Family-oriented care has been characterised by an ethos of organisational commitment that informs the planning, delivery, and evaluation of services. The initiation, development, and dissemination of these programmes highlight family therapy's contribution to the fields of mental health and social services. These demanding tasks require an ecosystemic vision, a supportive larger context, and a range of skills. By way of a case example, this article explores the evolution of community and residential care in Israel by examining processes at different ecological levels: the formulation and implementation of national social policy; and the follow-up of two family-oriented facilities, one of which thrived while the other eventually closed. Analysis of this multilevel data suggests four factors that have had major impact on family-oriented programmes: support by both national and local professional administration; programme's management autonomy; staff training, support and development; and effective facility leadership that establishes and nurtures family-oriented organisational structure and culture. |
