Definition
Psychoeducation provides patients and families with information about: treatment, diagnosis/ condition, and what to expect. With greater awareness, patients and their families make better life decisions and increase their sense of control over challenging life circumstances.
Collaboration between therapist and patient
An effective therapist uses psychoeducation not only for education, but to enhance the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship. Informed patients feel more involved in treatment which facilitates a better partnership with their therapist.
