Seikkula, Jaakko: Why Dialogue Does Cure

Explaining What Makes Dialogue Unprecedentedly Effective in Difficult Crises. This book presents the core elements of Open Dialogue – an innovative system of mental health care - and explains why dialogic practice can be so effective in the treatment of difficult mental health crises. As Dr. Seikkula explains in this book, Open Dialogue is both a way of organizing psychiatric care and a form of dialogic psychotherapy. The basic idea behind Open Dialogue is that discussions with the client seeking help, their family and other social networks are open to all. Nothing about the client's care is discussed without his or her presence. In addition, the basic idea of Open Dialogue is that clinicians work together as a team, participating in all the therapy meetings where the problems that led to the client's need for help are discussed.
