Sumario:As a social construct, our approach to work with severely disturbed psychiatric patients in crisis, termed Open Dialogue (OD), begins treatment within 24 hours of referral, and includes the family and social network of the patient in discussions of all issues throughout treatment. Treatment is adapted to the specific and varying needs of patients and takes place at home, if possible. Psychological continuity and trust are emphasised by constructing integrated teams that include both inpatient and outpatient staff who focus on generating dialogue with the family and patients instead of rapid removal of psychotic symptoms. The main principles are described and a case is analysed to illustrate them.
