摘要

The paper examines the role played by the informal support system, particularly the family, in the lives of older persons. It compares the characteristics of the formal and informal support systems, and suggests ways to link the two for the benefit of the elderly client. Studies show that the family is the major provider of assistance to the elderly member and the most important component of the informal service network. Contrary to popular opinion, this research underscores the significance and durability of the emotional bond and intimate ties between parents and children. There is little interaction between informal supports and the formal systems of human services, and the two appear in polar conditions: flexibility and creativity versus rigidity, intimacy and compassion versus impersonality, spontaneity versus strictures. However, the need for interaction between the two systems becomes increasingly critical in an era of meager resources and pressures for improved service delivery. Guidelines for developing programs designed toward this interaction are presented. Factors which contribute to the success of projects that work with the informal network include modification of case worker attitudes, changes in program practices, administrative flexibility, and commitment of policy makers and administrators.
