Three monologues on the personal, professional and family impact of psychosis

Amit Fachler

Psychosis, 2013, vol. 5, issue 2, 203-209

Abstract: This article brings together three fictional accounts surrounding the treatment of a young man’s psychotic illness, via the lens of the patient, his father and his case manager in a closed ward. The three accounts are currently used in workshops for parents of inpatients. The article presents aspects of the subjective experiences of coping with psychosis, such as hope, guilt and the dynamics of dissociation, and discusses the implications for practice. The article highlights the importance of paying full attention to parents and maintaining an optimistic outlook.
