Family interventions are aimed at engaging families and encouraging them to be active participants in treatment and rehabilitation, thereby increasing their knowledge and improving coping skills in both patients and their families.

Catharsis is the release of feelings that takes place as the patient talks about the event. The nurse solicits the patient's feelings about the situation by asking open-ended, explorative questions and focusing on feelings.
