title: Providing information to carers of people admitted to psychiatric hospital.
abstract: Relatives have an increasingly important role in providing care in the community to people with mental health problems, yet numerous studies have highlighted a lack of support from health care professionals. GERARD LEAVEY and colleagues describe a study to investigate the information provided to relatives of patients in one trust, and suggest solutions to the ethical and professional dilemmas raised.
