Patterns of coping in families of psychotic children

L M Marcus. Am J Orthopsychiatry. 1977 Jul.

Abstract

The nature of family adaptation to severely and chronically disabling cognitive and behavioral conditions is considered. The relationship between atypical development and family response is examined to derive basic concepts--parents' perceptions of their child's unusual characteristics, effects on social relationships, etc.--and suggest strategies for intervention and research.
