The family self-help movement in schizophrenia is in danger of losing its effectiveness, the authors believe. Many in the movement seem overly concerned with being accepted by professionals and others, which means that they become less single-minded in their advocacy for their relatives and for their own needs. Family groups are having difficulty maintaining their separate and unique identity and are including others who tend to undermine their efforts. The family movement in schizophrenia would do well to follow the example of the parents of the developmentally disabled in their unswerving devotion to their cause, which appears to be the key to their success in achieving greatly increased services and funding.
作者认为，精神分裂症患者家庭自助运动正面临失去效力的危险。该运动中的许多人似乎过于在意被专业人士和其他人接受，这意味着他们在为亲属和自身需求进行倡导时不再那么坚定。家庭团体难以保持其独立且独特的身份，还纳入了一些往往会破坏其努力的人。精神分裂症患者家庭运动不妨效仿发育障碍者的父母，坚定不移地投身于自己的事业，这似乎是他们成功获得大幅增加的服务和资金的关键。
