- Summary:
- The dissemination of psychosocial interventions as usual practice within mental health services has been slow and patchy. The shortcomings of community care have produced many negative consequences for both the families and their mentally ill relatives, who are often coerced into the service to compensate for the deficiencies of the community care system. Thus, this book also addresses an important question of family care: Are family intervention effective in promoting health and other benefits for families of people with schizophrenia?
