Life dispositions of caregivers of a family member with mental disorder
The specific adjustment profiles of parents and children caregivers highlighted their different needs for support. While parents may benefit from informational support and guidance, children may benefit more from motivational support to maintain meaning in life. The outlined individual differences may also contribute to family support and counselling aimed at improving functioning of the family system and the performance of its individual members.
