Abstract
PHOTO CREDIT: George MiltonThis article describes the implementation of Open Dialogue, an integrative approach drawn from systemic family therapy, dialogical theory, and social constructionism, across a range of mental health services within an NHS Trust. Reflections are given from staff working in Early Intervention in Psychosis and Acute Inpatient services, on the experience of training and the feasibility of implementing this approach. The conclusion draws together the learning gained and challenges experienced, as well as identifying areas for future development.
