Abstract

Mental health carers frequently report interpersonal difficulties in relation to the person for whom they are caring, however, there is limited research specific to their relational experiences. This thesis involves a series of studies which investigate the nature of mental health carers’ interpersonal problems, the role of other psychological processes in interpersonal distress, and interventions to improve interpersonal functioning in carers.
