English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / psychiatry / family therapy

English term or phrase: broad ( family model )

We strongly believe that the clinician who uses a broad family model will have more flexibility in managing the broad array of psychiatric problems now seen in practice.

Does anyone know what this BROAD family model is? Does it mean " extended". "basic" or something else?

8 hrs confidence:

non-traditional

Explanation:
I believe by broad they might mean non-traditional, not your typical mom-dad-kids family. Could be a single parent family, same sex parents... etc... Especially because he/she mentions problems NOW seen in practice, so I imagine they are referring to something new.

Notes to answerer

Asker: very interesting indeed! Plus within the broader :)context ( not given in the question field ) it seems a fairly plausible interpretation, too.

4 hrs confidence:

general

Explanation:
I don't think this is anything at all to do with whether it is an extended family, family of origin, family of marriage or whatever other sort of family.

I think that it is about basing his/her practice on a model that generally looks at the position of the patient within their family context, whatever that may be, including the role of friends as substitute family.

Perhaps, as Tina points out, my second sentence might be confusing. I would paraphrase it as: the model used is broadly based on the analysis of the subject as a member of and relating to a "family" or "families", whether genetically based or not. So, "broad" means general, because that is not the sole basis for analysis, but it is the main one.
