摘要

In recent years, support for families with mentally ill parents has increasingly attracted scientific and political attention. Although there have been repeated calls for more needs-oriented help services and stronger cross-system collaboration, the current state of research reveals significant gaps in knowledge necessary for such advancements. These gaps include the perspectives of those involved in help processes as well as barriers to multiprofessional cooperation.

Against this backdrop, the research project “Mothers and children between the help systems” examines how mothers diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and the professionals involved perceive the help processes and their interplay. In the course of this qualitative study, the following question emerged, which is explored in this article: What characterizes a social work analysis of the help experiences of mentally ill help users within this interdisciplinary and multiprofessional field?

To address this question, two analytical foils, that are anchored in the field, are elaborated and discussed with regard to their scope and limitations. The first concerns the view of mental illness in general and specifically of the borderline diagnosis; the second relates to the role of individuals as users or addressees of help services. We argue that these foils should be understood as distinct but complementary analytical logics: the first focusing on the ‘what’, the second on the ‘how’ of help experiences. From a social work perspective, the added value lies in integrating both analytical foils to enable a multi-perspective approach.
