Open Dialogue
A plain, low budget account of the Western Lapland approach to first episode psychosis, in which the family and the network meet from the start.
Mackler films clinicians and former patients describing a system that responds within twenty four hours, meets in the home, includes the family in every conversation, and uses medication sparingly and late. The reported outcomes are strong enough to be worth arguing about, and the film is freely available online.
