TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Why and how family caregivers should participate in shared decision making in mental health JO - Psychiatric services A1 - Hamann, Johannes A1 - Heres, Stephan SP - 418 EP - 421 VL - 70 IS - 5 N2 - Patient involvement (shared decision making ) and caregiver involvement (family involvement, etc.) are mostly seen as different aspects of care, and efforts to integrate them are limited. This Open Forum posits that both approaches are critical and that caregiver involvement should always be considered during shared decision making, potentially as an integral component. The authors argue that the two approaches can overlap and work synergistically rather than antagonistically. When caregiver involvement is integrated into shared decision making, caregivers may assume any of a variety of roles and need to develop certain competencies to better engage in decision making.
