Abstract

Mental health care is usually a challenge for families that have one of their members with a mental disorder, like for those who, by chance, need help, especially with regard to compulsory hospitalization. From this problem, it is necessary to understand the circumstances that are present in families with such adversity. This article aims to systematically review studies that analyzed and deepened the theme of families and their relationship with compulsory hospitalization. For this, LILACS, PUBMED and SciELO databases were used and, in the end, 14 articles were selected. In the analysis, it can be observed that the family plays a fundamental role in the therapy, even if the thoughts of the family hover between relief and guilt. Furthermore, there was a scarcity of literature on the subject, as well as the perceived importance of women in the treatment, since most mothers become responsible for the sick family member.
