Abstract with chronic schizophrenia ~tially increased risk of psychiatric Ie risk, however, is not an inevitable )f the parents illness but rather is the , involvement of children in the abnormal .ess and family disorder too t lead to ommunication, and impaired parent-child •...-.-..:1 ’t..____ •.• __ 142. the difference was of statistical significance as regard social behavior disorders, feeding disorders, excretory function disorders, psychoneurotic disorders and psychotic disorders. The family history of psychiatric disorders was significantly increased among schizophrenic parents compared with parents of the control group. As regard family structure it was found that the incidence of divorce and polygany was increased among schizophrenic families which reflects the disturbance of interparental relationships. The separation of parents was also increased due to long time hospitalization. The interparental relationship among schizophrenic families was characterized by domination, conflicts,helpless dislike and aggression. The attitude of the diseased parents toward their children was of significant difference in rejecting attitUde, this reflects why we have a big group of our cases reported both dislike and aggressive attitude 143. toward their diseased parents. The attitude of healthy parents was of significant difference in overprotecti_ veness, and this interprets the increased incidence of dependence among their children. The attitude of the child toward his siblings was characterized by cOnflicts, jealosy and dislike. Family crises occured in 64% of cases and was statistically significant. Financial crises occured in 28% of cases and separation in 24%, and divorce in 14%, while there is no increase in death of an important person in the family, or in migration. Offspring of schizophrenics showed significant difference in both sUdden onset of weaning and toilet training, but there is no much differen~e was reported as regard: age, six, birth order, prenatal and natal history, feeding, growth and development, and history of physical illness. The commenest type of pUnishment in our sample was severe beating, and the play was not allowed. These are factors which lead to runaway behavior among ------- --- - - --- ------- -- - 144. the children. The increased incidence of psychiatric disorders among those children was reflected on the relationships between them and thier schoolmates and also on their scholastic achievement. Personal, social and general adjustment in offspring of schizophrenics was highly impaired. 145. CONCLUSIONS : 1- Children of schizophrenic parents show high incidence of different forms of psychiatric disorders which requires more effort to reach an accepted form of classification. 2- Children of schizophrenic parents are exposed to multiple deleterious family experiences to which the control groups are not equally subjected. J- The intrafamilial relationships among schizophrenic families are disturbed and have bad effects on their children. 4- Personal, social and general adjustment in offspring of schizophrenics is highly impaired |
