The problems of mental health appear in all cultures no matter to age and have a considerable influence on physical health of people affected by it. 1/5 of humanity is affected by some sort of psychic disturbances, and approximately 5% of population has issues that significantly disturb working and social function. Possibility of treatment within community, for World Health Organization is question of fundamental human rights. A psychiatric patient needs to have active rehabilitation and sociotherapy. In everyday practice we can see that the number of people asking for the professional help due to psychic disturbance is getting bigger. It has long been accepted that the health issues are not only problem of an individual but the whole social community. It is necessary to accept the principle that this is not strictly medical category; also it is not strictly related to the degree of development of medical profession. This is also psychological, sociological and philosophical category which for sure reflects the degree of development of human civilization. Different kind of associations and programs are engaged with development of social capacities aimed at providing care for people with mental health issues within community. None of the forms of social life and organization is as important for health and sickness of individual as is life in the family. Therefore it is logical that the family is place and object of psychiatric treatment: within the frame of therapy in homo-family and hetero-family environment and family therapy. Family is a primary social group that in relation to its members, besides the protection has also educational of re-educational function.
