Sammanfattning
The need for extensive efforts targeting parents with long-term mental illness
and their infant children was noted in an established collaboration. Within the
framework of a research project, a home-based initiative was undertaken
in collaboration with other healthcare providers and authorities during child
infancy. The purpose was to offer treatment and to investigate whether the
interventions affected the development of children and the family’s situation
positively. Three central themes are highlighted in this article; 1) the overall
perspective, 2) most of the treatment takes place in the home environment
and 3) cooperation with the pre-school. The results showed a positive change
for the children and their parents but they also revealed that many difficulties
remain in the family and an important area of development, among
others, is in compensatory efforts for the children.
