L'aidant naturel d'un proche souffrant de schizophrénie qui suit une thérapie familiale perçoit certains éléments liés au processus à l'œuvre. Le but de cette étude est de recueillir des éléments susceptibles d'être communs à plusieurs prises en charge familiales. Il s'agit d'apporter des hypothèses de travail sur un domaine inexploré, et d'envisager un lien entre les exposés des aidants naturels et les concepts pratiques. Après avoir parcouru les références théoriques sur la thérapie familiale et sur les aidants naturels, une analyse thématique du contenu de cinq entretiens a été réalisée. Il s'agit d'entretiens ouverts afin de récolter un plus grand nombre d'hypothèses de travail. Les suivis des aidants sont hétérogènes par la durée et le type de suivi familial. Les résultats permettent de relever 29 thèmes. Parmi ceux-ci, deux semblent de premier ordre: la communication intrafamiliale et le positionnement. Ces thèmes semblent liés entre eux ainsi qu'à d'autres. Cela laisse penser qu'ils sont élaborés par les aidants comme occupant une place centrale dans le travail effectué avec les praticiens en psychothérapie familiale. Le moment spécifique de l’avènement du trouble est une période de grande détresse pour la famille. Celle-ci manifeste des attentes en termes de soutien, et d’accompagnement de la part des professionnels. Si elles sont négligées, la création de l’alliance thérapeutique peut être mise à mal, et entraver la prise en charge. Par ailleurs, il semble que perception circulaire et linéaire coexistent dans la représentation du problème que se fait le praticien. Cette étude propose des hypothèses qui demandent à être vérifiées par des recherches ultérieures. / Caregivers dealing with a family member with schizophrenia and undergoing a family therapy feel some effects related to the process. This research aims to identify perceived family features likely to be common to the various family care programs. Thus, this study has to do with working hypotheses based on a still unexplored field of psychology, and also, to seek a link between stories of caregivers and practical concepts. Having gone through references on family therapy and caregivers, a thematic analysis of five interviews has been carried out. Follow-up of caregivers is heterogeneous in terms of duration and type of family supervision. The interviews were open in order to collect a larger number of working hypotheses. The results can take up 29 topics. Among these, two of them seem to be high-order issues: intrafamilial communication and family status. These subjects appear to be connected to each other and to other areas. This suggests that both of them are elaborated by caregivers as a strong emphasis in the work of the family therapist. At the specific time when the disorder occurs, it's a period of extreme distress for all the family members. So that the family expresses expectations in counseling and support from professionals. If the demands are neglected, building the therapeutic alliance may be harmed and can, therefore, hinder the psychological management of patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, it appears that circular and linear perceptions co-exist in the problem representation of practitioners. This study proposes hypotheses that require subsequent verification during further research.

The objective of this study was to investigate the conditions under which family counseling was terminated and the relationship of the type of termination to children's self-concepts and parents' attitudes. For the purposes of this study, family counseling was terminated by either mutual termination or by family termination. Mutual termination referred to the family and the counselor mutually agreeing that termination from counseling was appropriate. Family termination referred to the family deciding without counselor agreement that termination from counseling was appropriate. For the purposes of this study a family's degree of commitment to the counseling process was indicated by the type of termination the families chose, that is, mutual or family termination.
