The author deals with problems of active involvement of the family in the treatment of patients with mental disorders as one of important and essential roles of the medical personnel - physicians and nurses. She analyzes the process of overcoming health crisis in the family, which takes care of and supports its sick member with mental disorder; she presents practical instructions and advices concerning these aspects of the nursing work. By a mutual cooperation of the medical personnel and family, environment is formed which recovers or reorganizes the function of the family for the time of the patient disease and convalescence. The target of studying the problems was to emphasize the marginally perceived problem of nursing practice in taking care of patients with specific disorders. After classification of mental disorders into dynamic mental disorders and structural - formal mental disorders, the author also mentions disorders involving the whole personality - mental retardation in children and adults, dementia. For particular mental disorders, she presents practical directions and advices how to work with patients with mental disorders and also how to mobilize and motivate the family for the cooperation in this process. In addition to the theoretical analysis of the problem, the purpose of the work was to extend knowledge in these problems at the level of practice - by providing recommendations for clinical practice, which were projected by the author into rules of communication with patients having mental disorders. Conclusively, she emphasizes the importance of the cooperation of physicians and nurses in the involvement of the family into the treatment of the sick family member and of the role of the nurse in managing this process.
