“…Historically the parental role of people with mental illness has been restricted through institutionalized care, with countries going as far as sterilization, or separating parents from their children against their will (David et al 2011). Deinstitutionalization has meant that more people with mental illness are able to have children and live with them in the community.…”

“…Parents can view their illness experiences as sources of strength and knowledge (Jones et al 2016), which can be shared and acknowledged through collaborative working. Parenting programmes designed specifically for parents with mental illness can also provide a source of support, however, in order to be effective, they need to take into account participants' existing social networks and economic resources (David et al 2011).…”

Objective: Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an evidence-based practice for individuals living with serious mental illnesses. Although studies estimate that at least half of people with serious mental illnesses are parents, little is known about ACT policies and services for parent consumers. Method: Seventy-three ACT providers from 67 teams completed a survey about treatment services for parent consumers. Teams were divided into “parent-sensitive” and “nonsensitive” teams based on 3 indicators of parent-related services: identifying parental status, discussing parenting issues, and assisting with parenting needs. For each treatment indicator, teams were compared to determine factors that may contribute to parent-supportive services. Results: Providers from parent-sensitive teams that consistently identified consumers’ parental status were more likely to talk with consumers about committed relationships and to assist consumers with parent–child communication. Parent-sensitive teams that frequently discussed parenting issues with consumers were less likely to be unsure of consumers’ family plans, more likely to find out about parenting during goal setting, and more likely to assist with parent-related needs. Parent-sensitive teams that frequently provided assistance with parenting needs were more likely to serve minority consumers and consumers who want children, spend more time discussing parenting issues, and offer special programs for parent consumers. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: Findings suggest that simply identifying consumers as parents is not sufficient for ensuring consistent provision of parent-supportive services, whereas discussing parenting issues is associated with increased service provision. More intensive, evidence-based parent-supportive services are needed, as well as continued research on parents with serious mental illnesses and available treatment services.

“…In families where parental psychotic disorder that disrupts parenting and parent-child relationship, the more family functioning and parents are supported thus less possible negative outcomes and disorganization occur [5,20]. "Women diagnosed with illnesses including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and major affective disorders often parent without adequate support from psychiatric and behavioural health providers'' [21][22]. This indicates that there is a lack of psychologically focused support for parents with psychotic disorders which can lead to persistent parent-child conflicts and poor parenting; so a need for treatment and support is crucial.…”

Objective: This systematic review explores the impact of parents with psychosis on parenting and parent-child relationship. Method: Psychiatric disorders in which psychosis may be found such as; schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (manic-depressive) and personality disorders, studies assess either fathers or mothers as parents experiencing psychosis and samples of children or adolescents aged until 18 were included in the review. As the search strategy; PsycINFO, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Maternity and Infant Care, PsycARTICLES and Cochrane databases were searched from the beginning of databases. Seven studies were reviewed. Results: Overall, studies portray consistency on the fact that having parents with psychosis induces chaotic, ambivalent communication; severe impairments in the ability of parenting; parenting stress; disorganized, disrupted parenting as well as maladjusted relationship; parents experiencing burden of nurturing and features of permissive, neglectful and authoritarian parenting styles. Conclusion: In families where parental psychotic disorder disrupts parenting and parent-child relationship, the more family functioning and parents are supported, less possible negative outcomes and disorganization occur. There is a significant lack of psychological support for parents with psychotic disorders, so that necessity for treatment and support is indisputable.
