| Abstract: | Two studies were conducted by the same researcher, one in Canada, the other in Japan, looking at families' reactions to their relatives' mental illness. The focus was placed on family caregivers' transformation processes, which are a unitary process of pattern appraisal and deliberate mutual patterning based on a unitary transformative paradigm within Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness. |
