Abstract:
Most existing research on the family context of psychosis focuses on the ‘burden’ of caring for people experiencing psychosis. The research took an inductive, multimodal hermeneutic–phenomenological approach The visual methodology enables subtle, complex, ambivalent, and ambiguous aspects of the participants’ experiences to be explored. Findings explore the participants’ accounts of how they love, protect, and care for their families; how they wrestle with family ties as they mature; and their feelings about talking about their mental health with loved ones, which was typically very difficult. This paper advances understanding of recovery in psychosis through consideration of the importance of reciprocity, and the identification and nurturance of relational strengths. Attachment-based and relationally oriented interventions are likely to support family functioning as well as individual recovery.
