Mental health, coercion and family caregiving: issues from the international literature
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
This article summarises current knowledge about two aspects of family care for people with mental illness: potentially pressurising or coercive aspects of family life; and family carers' experiences of being involved in coercive service interventions. There is a paucity of studies on these topics, especially outside Europe, North America and Australasia, and further research is recommended.
