Abstract
This chapter describes a small-scale in-depth study, exploring how a group of recently discharged psychiatric patients and their carers perceived their needs for education relating to the patients’ problems and their care programme. The ability of nurses on the wards to anticipate these needs was also investigated, as well as their perceptions of their role in patient and family teaching.
