Abstract

This case study aims to examine the developmental processes of the mother of a patient at the CAPS (Psychosocial Care Centre), in Uberaba – MG, Brazil, before and after the initiation of institutional care. A semi-structured interview was conducted and the life-story technique was used. The data analysis was guided by the Bronfenbrenner bio-ecological model and addressed the main factors that concern the development of the mother and the relations with the impact observed in the bio-ecological systems theory. The illness of a family member caused several changes in the family routine as well as it enabled ecological transitions of the sick child and of the caregiver mother. Such transitions were observed in the psychological, economic, social and religious. The monitoring of the family is essential to the therapeutic process of the patient. Descriptors: Mental health services; Family relationships; Mental health.
