<p>The purpose with this study was to investigate the client’s experience of Marte meo treatment and the procedure in the treatment from a responses and relational perspective, since the treatment occur within the social service frame. The theoretical framework consists of some central concepts. The concepts are experience of treatment, responses and relational perspective. The analysis of the empirical material has been carried out with the help of the concepts and earlier research.</p><p>The method consisted of qualitative, semi-structured interviews with six informants. The aim was to get the informants to talk exhaustive and use their own words. We have divided the informants into two groups, those who are still in treatment and those who have completed treatment. In the analysis we have compared the two groups’ results. Our conclusion is that the informants in the both groups do not differ to any greater extent. The informants experience the Marte meo treatment as positive and they consider the response from the therapist as professional. A key aspect for the clients, to get positive results in the treatment, is the response from the therapist. The informants’ experience of the Marte meo treatment is that it is concrete and the pictures makes a deep impression. The things that separate the groups from each other are predominantly that the informants that have completed their treatment have a deeper understanding of the treatment.</p>
