Éducation thérapeutique de familles de patients schizophrènes : le modèle de l'Hôtel-Dieu de France au Liban

The implementation of a psychoeducation program to the families of patients suffering of schizophrenia is important because the family members continually face particularly difficult circumstances. Such programs have several positive effects on both family members and patient. However, their long-term effects should be further evaluated and the duration of the program should be adapted accordingly. Such interventions may also be of benefit when implemented to families of patients with chronic mental disorders other than schizophrenia.
