Summary :
Family represents a fundamental element of contemporary society with a variety of configurations. Generally, everyone has a family or significant individuals in their life. When an illness, disability or accident occurs, the person can receive support from them. In addition, the presence of the latter is closely associated with the social participation and recovery of the individual. Considering this element, it is relevant in occupational therapy to explore the different ways of creating strategic alliances with family or loved ones. The consulted scientific literature reports that this collaboration contributes to improving health, developing autonomy and the well-being of the person. The objective of this article is to provide an overview of different studies on this subject and to draw from these experiences indications to facilitate this alliance in occupational therapy.
