L’INCONTRO TRA FAMILIARI E OPERATORI DEI SERVIZI PSICHIATRICI. VERSO UNA DECOSTRUZIONE DELLA COLPA

The last decade, family’s role is therefore redefined and it has gained importance to become the main focus for dialogue for mental health services. The new interactions between the mental health services and the family have led to different requests and, thus, different expectations, tools and resources. Both services and family are essential to the patient’s journey towards rehabilitation, but the road is not without obstacles and conflict.

This research was conducted in structures of public intervention in Rome. The characteristic of the relational context of inve- stigation led to favor qualitative analysis tools. Twenty-six interviews were conducted with psychiatric worker.
