ASSOCIATION OF FAMILY PSYCHIATRISTS
The Association of Family Psychiatrists is an organization for psychiatrists, psychiatry residents, fellows and allies. We support psychiatrists in providing family oriented care, including family support, psychoeducation, family consultation and, family therapy. We support families as givers of history, as caregivers, and as persons with their own needs. Family psychiatry treats families of patients through the life cycle, including adult families and those dealing with illness and dying.
OUR GOALS
Connect family psychiatrists with each other
Provide resources for therapists to share with families
Strengthen training in family oriented care in medical schools, residencies and fellowships
Raise awareness of family issues as part of all psychiatric treatment
The AFP is an allied organization of the American Psychiatric Association.

A NEW CURRICULUM OF INTEREST
A Psychotherapy Curriculum Combining Neuroscience and Traditional Psychotherapeutic Understanding for Residents and Other Beginners
Although it is primarily written from the perspective of individual therapy, there is a substantial amount of systems thinking included throughout, and one section devoted entirely to systems and families. Ellen Berman, former AFP President, and Rajesh Mehta, AFP secretary, are contributors. It is now an AADPRT model curriculum.

THE GAP CURRICULUM: FAMILY ORIENTED CARE IN ADULT PSYCHIATRIC RESIDENCIES
The GAP Family Committee was recently asked to update our model AADPRT family curriculum from 2006. This shortened version is designed for today’s residency programs and focuses on family work, family support and a systems orientation throughout all aspects of the residency program. It is our belief that families need to be included and supported whether the focus of treatment is emergency care, medication management or psychotherapy.
Please circulate this OCT 2021 version to anyone you think would be interested.
