Positive parent/adult child relationships: Impact of severe mental illness and caregiving burden
Comparison of 222 parents of an adult child who had a psychiatric disability and 434 parents with a nondisabled adult child revealed that parents' positive appraisals of their relationship with the target child was significantly predicted by their perceived caregiving burden, but not by their child's psychiatric status. Implications for interventions that enhance parent/adult child relationships are discussed
Benefits of support groups for families of adults with severe mental illness
Predictors of benefits derived from participating in support groups for families of persons with mental illness were examined. A survey of 131 families indicated that social support resources outside the group, as well as support received from and provided by the group, were associated with information acquired by the participant. Improved relationships with family and the ill relative were predicted by the participant's health and provision of s…
Families of adults with severe mental illness--The next generation of research: Introduction
Age and family burden among parents of offspring with severe mental illness
Family burden reported by parents of offspring with severe mental illness was examined to determine whether burden increases with age. Older parents were troubled by cognitive dimensions of burden, while younger parents were distressed by their offspring's behavior, suggesting that interventions should vary according to parents' age as well as developmental stage of their child's illness
Marital satisfaction among parents of the severely mentally ill living in the community
Factors influencing marital satisfaction among 131 parents of adult offspring with severe mental illness were explored. Those found to be most predictive of marital satisfaction were parents' ability to comfort one another, parents' gender, number of offspring, family income, and interpersonal sensitivity. Implications of these findings for practical and policy approaches to preventive intervention are discussed
