Abstract

Much has been recommended and written about seeing the family together in the medical setting (1–3). However, the specifics of conducting a family conference have yet to be spelled out. That is the purpose of this chapter. We will offer a concrete, step-by-step guide to conducting a family conference in a medical setting. It is not the only way to conduct a family conference, but is one effective way to conduct a family conference.
