Introduction: The latest developments in the treatment of mental disorders include systematic education of patients and their families on mental disorders and treatment. Psychoeducation is considered an integral part of modern and integrated treatment for mental disorder. It is the principal intervention in the application of the theory of psychosocial rehabilitation in practice. It is a model adapted to the needs of the chronically ill patient family. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the active involvement of the family members throughout the course of the disease, mainly due to the long-term interaction and patient care. Results: All family psychoeducational models in studies of intervention compared with usual supportive intervention of the individual patient, always in combination with drug therapy proved highly effective not only in reducing relapses and reduce tension and stress in the family, reducing the expression of negative emotions as well as relieve the family from feeling the burden, but also to change the attitudes and behaviors of the family towards the patient, and finally improve the family atmosphere. Conclusions: The intervention psychoeducational is an important link in the treatment of mental illness particularly on the part of the family. Both the teacher and the supportive role of psychoeducational intervention is invaluable therapeutic value.
