| Abstract: | The article presents a study that describes the effects that patients have on their families in a community care and a control psychiatric service in Chichester, England. A group of patients treated in two psychiatric services with differing admission policies was followed-up and the effects of the patients on their families was measured and compared. Analysis showed that the community service which favored extra-mural care left the patient's families more heavily burdened. When the difference between the services in family burden was examined, higher ratings obtained in the community service were found. |
