May 2025 issue of The Foglight by Dr. Gerda Maissel


In This Issue: In part one, we explored three of the six family roles I’ve noticed that adults take on during a prolonged medical crisis, and how these roles impact families under stress. Part one covered the Angry One, the Panicker, and the Supporter. Now, in part two, I will cover the last three: the Questioner, the Disengaged One, and the Leader.
