Abstract
The incarcerated population is considered an underserved population, specifically in regard to their ability to access and receive mental health services. There is a gap in existing literature addressing the mental health needs of incarcerated individuals who also suffer from chronic illnesses. The purpose of this case study is to provide an exploration of how medical family therapy and structural family therapy can be integrated to inform the treatment of incarcerated individuals and their families who are experiencing a physical health illness. A case application will be provided to highlight how the integrated approach can be utilized to conceptualize and treat those incarcerated and their families. Treatment was shown to be effective as evidenced by the outcomes of an incarcerated mother with HIV and her daughter.
