Abstract

The following review concludes the authors experience of a 6 year consultation with the parents of a 28 year old daughter with a schizophrenic psychosis. The self-sacrificing experiences of the parents are reported as well as the experiences with a well developed system of psychiatric care with several professionals, whose work remains without success because of insufficient coordination. The author asks for a conference of all involved persons, to nominate a responsible therapeutic key-worker to coordinate the different psychiatric care in the future.
