Mental illness can deeply impact a family’s dynamic, sometimes leading to its breakdown. At the same time, family support can make or break the recovery trajectory of a person with mental illness. When traditional individual treatments are not effective, it is often an indicator that the family should be included. Observing family interactions can help determine a family’s and individual’s needs. In this chapter, a family’s story is used to illustrate how public psychiatrists can work with families to preserve attachments, develop understanding and support for the affected individual, and prevent caregiver burnout. The case illustrates how a genogram, family inclusion, and family psychoeducation can be used create a broader narrative and build empathy for the family system.

Discussion of issues in the implementation of the JOBS progam focuses on six social systems levels: national, state, local, neighborhood, family, and individual. A specific example of contrasting programs at local and neighborhood levels highlights differential approaches to facilitating individual and/or family system change.

The Subject

The functioning of the family, interactions between spouses are determined by various factors. Young people bring in to their new family their own experience from the family of origin, the specific characteristics of the personality, and the skills acquired as a result of environmental influences and of their own activity . Each family system is unique because of individual features of individual family members and their mutual influence on each other and the system of the various elements and phenomena affecting the family. The family can be described for the different aspects of its activity, including cohesion, adaptability, identity of family and interpersonal communication. The subject of our research was to determine to what extent the family of origin influences the interactions and the way of communication between spouses. The analysis confirmed the special importance of cohesion in the family of origin for the development of good relations between spouses. It was also found more of the relationships between the specifics of family of origin and the level of commitment and support of women by men.

This chapter reviews landmark studies in the history of child psychotherapy. Studies were chosen based on innovation, impact, and methodological rigour. They include Mary Cover Jones’ first use of observational methods to overcome fear in young children; Ivan Lovaas’ work with autism in children; the Oregon Social Learning Center’s conceptualization of child behavioural problems as sequelae of family interactions and subsequent development of effective parenting interventions; the inclusion of the family system in the treatment of eating disorders; the application of attachment theory to psychotherapy; and finally, the work of David Olds et al. and the Family Nurse Partnership model as an influential attempt to get out of the clinic and into the natural environment of vulnerable children. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future themes and directions; hopefully, the chapter’s take on this rather diverse history helps keep such diversity and innovation alive.

Objective:Given that parental mental diseases affect the whole family system, a family centered support and help system seems appropriate for families with a mentally ill mother/father. However, the majority of mental health services do not integrate interventions for the family system into psychiatric treatment programs.Aims:To introduce a counselling and support service for families with a mentally ill parent (FIPS) that has been established at a psychiatric hospital serving a large catchments area. Preliminary results of a qualitative study that focused on the clients’ family background as well as on their reasons for utilising the service and service satisfaction will be presented.Methods:Factors that impact the family system are considered and brought to a concept for counselling and support service for families with a mentally ill parent. Problem-focused interviews with 14 clients (mentally ill parents and relatives) of the counselling service for families were subjected to content analysis.Results:Most clients came to the counselling centre because of worries that the parent's mental illness might negatively affect children's well-being. Mentally ill mothers described their daily lives as utterly burdensome and also reported strong feelings of guilt towards their children. The concept of FIPS includes psychoeducation, social therapy, case management and family therapy. Clients assessed the counselling service as helpful and reported some significant changes.

Over Time

Adolescence is a developmental time period of self-exploration and self-discovery for that brings about change to family processes and interactions. Conflict during this time can be interpreted as a mechanism that reconceptionalizes how the family as a system operates. In light of research supporting the increase in parent-adolescent conflict and the importance of sibling relationship qualities during adolescence, the literature is unclear about how these two aspects of family interactions are associated with each other and their implications within the family system. Therefore, the present study examined the interconnectedness of family subsystems and changes in family processes and dynamics in adolescence over time. The present study found that sibling relationship quality influenced the trajectory of parent-adolescent conflict over time. Specifically, spillover effects and compensation effects were found in both adolescent-reported and mother-reported adolescent conflict. Importantly, the context of sibling gender composition revealed that spillover and compensation effects were stronger for same-sex siblings than for mixed-sex siblings. The results showcase the importance of examining multiple familial relationships during adolescent development and illustrate how family interactions and processes are interconnected.

Racial And Ethnic Disparity

Rates of incarceration in the United States have grown dramatically over the past 50 years. These high rates of incarceration call for mental health and relational therapy to incarcerated individuals and their families. In conducting a literature review on incarceration, several topics emerged: mental illness, racial and ethnic disparity, and recidivism. When studying incarceration, mental illness is a necessary topic of inclusion due to high prevalence of mentally ill incarcerated individuals. When exploring issues related to incarceration, it is important to discuss diverse disparities to be able to put the individuals into context of their social location as well as address how contextual factors impact incarceration. The purpose of this article is to highlight the systemic, relational issues within incarcerated settings and then to display how treating mental illness and relational concerns allows for a healthier integration back into the family system. Clinical implications and future directions are also provided.
