Four Types of Family Involvement Over the Course of Severe Mental Illness: An Exploratory Study

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
14 July 2006

Abstract

Little is known about the long-term involvement of families in the life of persons suffering from severe psychiatric disorders. The trajectories of 80 young adults are drawn in this study to determine social networks, service utilization patterns, and family involvement type. Findings indicate that, for community-living patients, family involvement type is a key adaptation factor.

Résumé

Nous ne connaissons que peu de chose sur l'implication à long terme des familles de personnes souffrant de problèmes psychiatriques sévères. La trajectoire de 80 jeunes adultes est reconstituée permettant ainsi d'établir leur réseau social, leur utilisation des services et le type d'implication des familles. Les résultats démontrent que le type d'engagement familial est un facteur d'adaptation important pour le patient ou la patiente vivant dans la communauté.
