New aspects and courses in organization of treatment and recovery in psychiatry intrude a new patient's family role in this process. Previously, the family had a very passive attitude during treatment and recovery process of patient. Today patient's family has an essential role in treatment, recovery and resocialisation of their relative diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective or other psychotic disorders.

Serbia is on the Big Way of Transition going toward political and economic model of West Community and also toward western model of organization of mental health. Reorganization of psychiatry and deinstitutionalisation obtrude different access in process of treatment of patient with psychosis.

Family must go through psychoeducation and involve initially developing practical strategies for dealing with an ill relative. Multifamily group psychoeducation is the pattern engagement of family intervention and support. Program of education is accommodated to requirement of treatment and needs of family.

Family with relative with first-episode psychosis and family with established psychotic. illness but without necessarily skills for handling the many difficult problems posed by mental illness in a family member is involved in this program of education Using our model of family psychoeducation, we have been able to reduce the rate of relapse of these patients to over 5o% of what would have been expected had they received more traditional forms of treatment.
