In 2017, the new national guideline on family involvement (FI) in Norwegian health care was launched. Other countries have developed similar guidelines. What are the benefits and challenges of working together with families in mental healthcare during severe mental illness (SMI)? How and to what extent do guidelines on family involvement respond to these challenges? How can such guidelines best be implemented?
