Abstract
Examines familial uses of restraining orders against individuals with severe mental health problems. Due to the decline of care facilities for the mentally ill, family homes are often the only shelter such individuals can obtain. Interview data from 189 family members of mentally ill individuals in Philadelphia, PA, indicate that 8.4% used restraining orders, typically for reasons of family conflict or the fear or threat of violence, while 11% hoped that the family member would receive treatment as an outcome of the restraint & attention by the judicial system. It is concluded that community mental health services should address the needs of families currently relying on these strategies for treatments. 11 References. J. MacDowell
