A Clinical Evaluation of Children with Psychotic Parents

A Clinical Evaluation of Children with Psychotic Parents E. JAMES ANTHONY M.D. 1 1 Professor of child psychiatry, Washington University School of Medicine, 369 North Taylor Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 63108 In a metropolitan sample the author found three groups of disturbances among children of psychotic parents: precursive disturbances—forerunners of later adult psychoses; symbiotic—directly attributable to the type of relationship between child and sick parent; and induced or parapsychotic—attributable to the environment. The latter two groups are susceptible to the effects of separation from the psychotic influence; this is less true in the first group, although there is some suggestion that specific therapeutic interventions may help avoid the development of an adult psychosis. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Psychiatry American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc (Journal)
