  • Title: A family history study of schizophrenia-related personality disorders.
    Author: Kendler KS, Masterson CC, Ungaro R, Davis KL.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1984 Mar; 141(3):424-7. PubMed ID: 6703111.
    Abstract:
    This study examined whether the family history method can be used to detect cases of schizophrenia-related personality disorder in the families of schizophrenic patients. After proposing specific family history criteria for this diagnosis, the authors applied these criteria in a blind family history study and found that schizophrenia-related personality disorders were significantly more common in the first-degree relatives of schizophrenic patients than in the relatives of medically ill controls.
