Obsessive-compulsive disorder places formidable burdens on family members who are drawn into bizarre enabling behaviors to pacify their ill relatives. Some families exhibit a high tolerance for inappropriate behavior and evidence characteristics similar to those seen in families of alcoholics. This article applies the codependency group model to families of obsessive-compulsive people based on a definition of codependency that views these families as normal, feeling people who are trying to cope with unremitting stress. Clinical vignettes illustrate how these families are similar to families of alcoholics in their management of emotions and in their dysfunctional behaviors. Recommendations are offered for practitioners who work with families of mentally ill people.
强迫症给家庭成员带来了巨大负担，他们会陷入怪异的迁就行为以安抚患病的亲属。一些家庭对不当行为表现出高度容忍，且呈现出与酗酒者家庭类似的特征。本文基于对相互依赖的一种定义，将相互依赖群体模型应用于强迫症患者的家庭，该定义认为这些家庭是试图应对持续压力的正常、有情感的人。临床案例说明了这些家庭在情绪管理和功能失调行为方面如何与酗酒者家庭相似。文中还为从事精神病患者家庭工作的从业者提供了建议。
