Just the facts

10th June 2015
  • Family members are invited to think of a situation which happened outside the family and which evoked strong emotions in a family member.
  • The family member is then asked to describe the event without any reference to internal mental states.
    • For example, a young person describes meeting up with a group of friends, overhearing two of them talking about her, getting into an argument and then coming home on her own.
  • Other family members are asked to have a conversation about what they may have been going on in her mind at that time.
