Abstract
The evidence available suggests that family burden in schizophrenia is well documented but poorly provided for. However, family needs, although extensive, do not have to overwhelm services. Provision now is likely to be cost effective in preventing future morbidity in both carers and patients. Offering support to families as well as patients, and being prepared to take account of their needs will be an essential part of any successful attempt to provide care in the community.
