Following research on clinical practice, seven key principles that define Open Dialogue meetings have been recognized.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Immediate help: Responding\u00a0to\u00a0crises\u00a0within\u00a024\u00a0hours\u00a0of\u00a0first\u00a0contact\u00a0to\u00a0prevent\u00a0the\u00a0escalation\u00a0of\u00a0distress.<\/li>\n
  2. Social Network Perspective:Involving\u00a0family,\u00a0friends,\u00a0and\u00a0other\u00a0significant\u00a0people\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0care\u00a0process\u00a0to\u00a0provide\u00a0a\u00a0comprehensive\u00a0view\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0individual’s\u00a0situation.<\/li>\n
  3. Flexibility and mobility: Adapting\u00a0support\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0individual’s\u00a0needs\u00a0and\u00a0preferences,\u00a0allowing\u00a0for\u00a0meetings\u00a0at\u00a0home,\u00a0online,\u00a0or\u00a0wherever\u00a0feels\u00a0right.<\/li>\n
  4. Responsibility:The\u00a0first\u00a0person\u00a0contacted\u00a0takes\u00a0responsibility\u00a0for\u00a0the\u00a0entire\u00a0journey,\u00a0avoiding\u00a0referrals\u00a0to other\u00a0departments.<\/li>\n
  5. Psychological continuity: The\u00a0first\u00a0person\u00a0contacted\u00a0takes\u00a0responsibility\u00a0for\u00a0the\u00a0entire\u00a0journey,\u00a0avoiding\u00a0referrals\u00a0to\u00a0other\u00a0departments.<\/li>\n
  6. Tolerance of uncertainty: Holding\u00a0space\u00a0for\u00a0not-knowing\u00a0and\u00a0allowing\u00a0new\u00a0understanding\u00a0to\u00a0emerge\u00a0through\u00a0honest\u00a0communication.<\/li>\n
  7. Dialogism: True dialogue ensures that every voice is heard and focuses on working together in therapeutic decisions. Everyone’s feelings and opinions are valued, creating a welcoming environment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Over the past decade, longitudinal outcome studies have shown that young people getting services based on Open Dialogue<\/strong> generally take fewer medications, have fewer out-of-home interventions, lower treatment costs, and get less disability benefits compared to those receiving other services in Finland (Valtanen et al., 2024; Bergstr\u00f6m et al., 2022; Bergstr\u00f6m et al., 2023). These promising results have helped Open Dialogue spread internationally.<\/p>\n

    Other treatments for psychosis also give good immediate results, but over time, their effectiveness drops or isn\u2019t clear.<\/p>\n
