Optimized Treatment As Usual
The intervention lasts 3 months and includes 14 two-hour sessions with a group format on a weekly basis. The FC program is divided into 7 modules: 2 of Psychoeducation (ED and PD criteria, explanatory theories, available treatments, comorbidity with PD, etc.) and 5 modules of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills training (Relationship mindfulness, effective communication, aceptation, validation, problem management and meaning of life).
Family members with this condition will continue to receive the usual treatment provided by their referral care center. In addition, we will optimize the treatment, with 3 two-hour psychoeducation sessions in group format each week (ED and PD, explanatory theories, available treatments, comorbidity with PD).
