Winnie W. Kung

English

Family intervention for patients with schizophrenia in China is discussed in a sociocultural context. Caregivers face additional burdens due to the centrality of the family and impoverished mental health services. Suggestions to improve treatment include strengthening working alliances between professionals and caregivers and addressing needs at different stages of the illness.

French

L'intervention de famille auprès des patients ayant la schizophrénie en Chine est discutée dans un contexte culturel. Les aidants font face à des fardeaux additionnels dus à l'importance centrale de la famille ainsi qu'à l'appauvrissement des services de santé mentale. Quelques suggestions pour améliorer l'intervention comprennent: le renforcement des alliances entre les professionnels et les aidants; et la nécessité de répondre aux besoins à différentes étapes de la maladie.

Spanish

Se estudian aquí dentro de su contexto sociocultural algunas intervenciones terapéuticas en familias de pacientes chinos diagnosticados con esquizofrenia. Los cuidadores asumen cargas adicionales debidas, primero, a la importancia que se otorga a la familia, y, segundo, a la escasez de servicios de salud mental. Entre las sugerencias para mejorar el tratamiento se incluyen el fortalecimiento de las alianzaas entre los profesionales y los cuidadores, y el bregar con las necesidades que surgen en las diferentes etapas de la enfermedad.
