The Pain and the Possibility: The Family Recovery Process

Author: LeRoy Spaniol

Published in: Community Mental Health Journal | Issue 5/2010

Abstract

The onset of a mental illness is a traumatic experience for all the members of a family. While the mental illness in their family member may be life long, family members can experience their own recovery from the trauma, just as their family member with a mental illness can experience recovery. This article will describe the family recovery process.
