Overview

In this age of spiralling health-care costs, it is imperative that the family's role in treating patients with chronic mental illness not be overlooked - by policy-makers and clinicians alike. The families themselves insist that the government and care-providing agencies learn new ways to relate to them and patients. This is a guide to the family's experience of chronic and serious mental illness for clinicians and educators in a wide range of mental health disciplines. It details all major areas of the clinician-family relationship - consumer perspectives, cultural diversity, social policy, ethical issues, practical coping strategies, research and training issues, major service issues, managed care and cost-saving measures.
