Educating relatives about schizophrenia.

چکیده
An education program, which was part of a controlled trial of intervention with families of schizophrenic patients, is described and evaluated. The evidence suggests that this kind of education has a role to play in psychosocial intervention. Assessment of its impact should include not only changes in information acquired but also in attitudes.

متن کاملNeurodevelopmental interactions conferring risk for schizophrenia: a study of dermatoglyphic markers in patients and relatives.
Schizophrenia is hypothesized to be the result of an interaction between specific genetic factors and nonspecific insults during embryonic development. Dermatoglyphic abnormalities appear to mark these putative insults--providing information about the temporal sequence of aberrant developmental events as well as the organism's vulnerability to their adverse effects. In the present study, dermat...
