Laura had regular visits from her parents and asks to go home but after a while she is used to getting let down and still staying in the hospital. Laura struggles to control her feelings whilst in the hospital separated from her parents. Jane, Lucy, Thomas and Kate are a case study done by Robertson and Robertson (1967-1973).

Caregiver Role Strain Adult Development and Aging Caregiver Role Strain Due to the "graying of America" and the increasing cost of nursing homes or other supervised setting, the issue of caregiving for adult family members is becoming a serious concern (Hoyer & Roodin, 2009). Although it is the individual who experiences a disability or illness, it is the family who in most cases must bear the primary care giving responsibilities (Young & Kahana, 1989).

Family members are interconnected and dependent on each other in ways which make it impossible for one member to change without it affecting every other member of the family. Each person in the family has a role to play and rules that he /she must follow. As long as this occurs, balance is maintained within the family unit. When change in one or more member occurs, it can disrupt the family’s balance and a new equilibrium is found (Schimelpfening 2012). Family therapy is focused on the resolution of specific problems, such as depression, anxiety or marital discord.

She was once in love but because her mother “was bedridden and helpless”and she “had to provide for two younger brothers”(Ibsen, 2011, p. 556) she was forced to marry for convenience of the situation. We can tell this has made her look at life in a more realistic and wise view than that of her friend Mrs Nora Helmer the main character.
