摘要
The author suggests that family expenditures are a significant factor in the overall system of care and should be included in economic analyses of mental health services. Data indicate that family contribution should be viewed as a resource and may be serving as a substitute for resources from the formal mental health system. Suggestions for policy are presented that support the concept of "shared responsibility" between the family and the formal system. © 1990 Human Sciences Press.
