Abstract In 2014, a Mental Health Act was introduced in Victoria, Australia which mandated clinicians to recognize and support consumers’ children. Interviews were conducted with 11 clinical adult mental health professionals about their views and experiences of the introduction of the Act and its impact on their practices. Interviews revealed that sections of the Act relating to consumers’ children were not promoted within organizations and did not result in revolutionary practice change. Instead, practice development staff within organizations were viewed as the main drivers of practices to support consumers’ children. Suggestions are made for enhancing the impact of legislation to promote practice change.

支持患有精神疾病的父母的子女的立法政策：革命还是进化？

摘要2014年，澳大利亚维多利亚州实施了《精神健康法》，该法规定临床医生必须承认并支持消费者的孩子。对11名临床成人心理健康专业人士进行了访谈，以了解他们对该法实施的看法和经验及其对他们行为的影响。访谈显示，该法中与消费者子女有关的部分并未在组织内推广，也未导致革命性做法的改变。相反，组织内部的实践开发人员被视为支持消费者孩子的实践的主要驱动力。提出了一些建议，以增强立法的影响以促进实践的改变。
