Abstract

Discovering the difficulties the family
experiences is an imminent need for the consolidation
of the psychosocial rehabilitation process. A qualitative
research was undertaken to get to know and analyze family
members’ forms of coping with their relatives’ aggressive
behavior and the feelings these situations arouse. As a
data collection tool, a script was used to interview ten
family members living in the coverage area of a Primary
Health Care Unit in Londrina, Paraná in 2012, and who
had a relative with mental disorder monitored at a mental
health service in the city. The results reveal difficulties to
manage crises, search for professional and spiritual help
and feelings the majority have in common, such as despair,
suffering, fear of being victim of aggression, solitude and
social isolation. To relive these difficulties, it is considered
important for the health service to intervene in the family
context.
