Mental health services should guarantee immediate help in crises including the nearest to the patients. Open dialogue while doing this has changed the emphasize into sensitively listening to the voices of the patient and those nearest to him/her instead of looking at the psychopathology. The documented results in most sever crises like psychosis are exceptional with significantly less use of medication. In this paper the main focus is to describe how to generate dialogue in the open meetings with the team, the person in the centre of concern and the family members present and thus mobilizing their own psychological resources for recovery.
