Coping strategies used by families in Indonesia when caring for patients with mental disorders post-pasung based on a case study approach

摘要

Treatment of post- (physical restraint) patients with mental disorders has become a new problem in Indonesia in its effort to free the country from the physical restraint programme. Problems emerge when the patient returns to the family and society at large, and families that refuse to allow the patient to come back home risk the possibility that the patient may eventually become a psychotic vagrant.
