Abstract Viewing individuals with schizophrenic disorders within a family life-cycle context promotes recognition of the range of family roles, particularly partnership & parenting roles, in clients lives. Knowledge of clients stage of family development allows practitioners to view the client more holistically - as a family member with roles & responsibilities - instead of as an isolated, ill individual. Here, gender differences in family roles & in manifestation of the illness are considered, drawing on a literature review. 1 Table, 38 References. Adapted from the source document
