ABSTRACT
While the family's primacy in the patient's adaptation to chronic illness increasingly is being recognized by health professionals and social scientists, the reverse side of the coin, that is, the impact of chronicity on the family, has received little attention. A life-span development perspective is used to enrich the more traditional frameworks employed to study family development and also as a unifying framework from which to view the impact of illness on individual family members and the family as a unit. A review of selected literature reveals a profile of families most at risk for serious disruption in situations involving chronic illness. Propositions suggesting interventions directed at patients and families experiencing chronicity are derived.
