Marcus has recently been discharged from a psychiatric ward after experiencing acute symptoms of schizophrenia. He has returned to live with his parents and older sister. The household is highly stressful: his parents frequently criticise him for sleeping during the day, and his sister constantly hovers over him, over-controlling his medication and daily routine. This high-tension environment is causing Marcus to feel increasingly anxious and paranoid.
Explain how a family therapist might help to manage Marcus's condition and reduce his risk of relapse.
