This article is an illustration of Indian families as caregivers who are direct sufferers due to family members affected by mental illness such as schizophrenia, and other psychiatric disorders. Organised into a self-help group called AMEND, the article is based on the presentation made at the World Association for Psychosocial Rehabilitation Conference, held at Germany in May 1998. The practical aspects involved in the caregiving role of Indian families make them inevitable partners in care besides projecting a unique model to the other family support groups across the world. The discussion on barriers and gateways to the partnership role of family provides an insight into the cultural dynamics of care in a country like India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
