✦ Synopsis

Summary

The pressures involved in caring for a child with profound physical and intellectual disabilities are well documented in the literature. The present article offers a brief overview of this literature, followed by a description of an intervention with a family caring for their young daughter with profound physical and intellectual deficits. At the time of the intervention, the parents had been experiencing considerable intramarital difficulties and were considering a separation. They had also encountered difficulties in coping with the practical demands of caring for their daughter and in obtaining appropriate respite services. Following the intervention, the emotional climate of the parents' marriage was reportedly much improved and the parents felt more able to cope with the strains of caring for their daughter.
