Method: This study was qualitative research using a case study approach. The number of participants from six families was selected by purposive sampling. Collecting data was done by in-depth interview, and analysed thematically using Colaizzi steps.

Results: The results showed that families coping when taking care of patients with mental disorders post- comprise seven themes. The seven themes are formed by four categories, 19 sub-themes and 32 sections.

Discussion: The appearance of coping was the overall description of coping in the form of strategic process stages, the support of coping and meaning for what the families feel when they are taking care of a patient with a mental disorder post-. The appearance of coping showed how the family chooses the mechanisms of coping to deal with stress and crisis.

Conclusion: The coping mechanisms that families use when taking care of a patient with a mental disorder post- were formed through stages of a strategic process. Families need coping strengthening interventions to provide optimal care for patients with mental disorders post-.

Introduction: While the fact that visual stimuli synthesized by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) may evoke emotional reactions is documented, the precise mechanisms that connect the strength and type of such reactions with the ways of how ANNs are used to synthesize visual stimuli are yet to be discovered. Understanding these mechanisms allows for designing methods that synthesize images attenuating or enhancing selected emotional states, which may provide unobtrusive and widely-applicable treatment of mental dysfunctions and disorders.

Methods: The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a type of ANN used in computer vision tasks which models the ways humans solve visual tasks, was applied to synthesize ("dream" or "hallucinate") images with no semantic content to maximize activations of neurons in precisely-selected layers in the CNN.
