Annotation	When one member of a family is suffering long-term illness or disability, the combined effects of disability and institutional stressors jeopardise the integrity and adaptive strength of the patient and the family. This article reports on a psycho-educational programme which was designed to meet the needs of patients, families and staff of a 912-bed chronic rehabilitation and nursing facility in the United States (US). results are discussed in terms of positive changes in patient, family, and staff relationships, the value of a family group intervention and its relevance as a preventive as well as rehabilitative treatment.
