Parents of children with chronic disabilities: The gratification of caregiving
Growth; Children; Parent caregiving; Chronic Disabilities
A sample of 167 parents of children with a mental illness or physical disability participated in the study. Parents reported receiving gratification from fulfilling their parental duties and from learning about themselves. The child’s and parent’s personal characteristics were significant predictors of gratification. Physically disability and younger age of the child were associated with higher level of gratification, as were the younger age of the parent, unemployment, and parental poor health. When parents perceived caregiving as causing less emotional strain (low subjective burden, they were more likely to express gratification. The amount of assistance that the parent gave the child (objective burden) did not have a unique contribution to parental gratification.

Trauma, healing, and the narrative emplotment of loss
Grief; Stress; Health; narrative
Although constructivism has generated much theoretical discussion in the mental health disciplines, its implications for clinic conceptualization, assessment, and treatment have been less systematically explored. The authors attempt to remedy this shortcoming by extending a narrative account of post-traumatic stress and illustrating its applicability in the context of an extended case study. They conclude that a narrative perspective on the traumatic disruption of self-identity holds promise for clinicians at both the heuristic and applied levels.
