In the Netherlands, however, primary caregivers function as gatekeepers [ 6].
Other studies show that coping is an important variable in adaptation to chronic illness [ 13, 40, 41], and family function and child behavior also are associated with caregiver function [ 11, 14].
Subsequent research thus began to evaluate the relationship between caregiver attitudes, patients' social functioning, caregivers' quality of life, caregiver burden, and the effectiveness of family intervention [ 38- 40].
This study is, we believe, first to examine whether TEI might moderate the effect of child behaviour problems (CBP) on caregivers' psychological functioning.
This guide, written with Pierre A. Lahu, Westheimer's "minister of communications" for more than 31 years, is jam-packed with practical, hands-on, down-to-earth information designed to help caregivers function in their new roles and take care of themselves.

Among mood episode recurrences, there is a well-established predominance of depressive, compared with hypomanic/manic/mixed episodes, over the course of BD, with a subsequent overall greater burden in terms of economic costs, functioning, caregiver burden, and suicide (Judd et al. 2005; Di Marzo et al. 2006; Miller et al. 2014).
This programme demonstrated positive impacts on patients' daily functioning, caregivers' sense of competence in interaction with the patient, on quality of life and mood of both and on costs of dementia care [ 25- 28].
This burden is predicted by the presence of psychiatric morbidity in the caregiver, the level of functioning as assessed by the clinician, the degree of impairment as assessed by the caregiver, and the level of education of the child.
These included child functioning concerns, caregiver risk factors, and household characteristics.
We hypothesized that child, parent, and psychosocial variables would predict caregiver depression and family functioning.
