  • Title: Maternal representations of patients with schizophrenia as measured by the Parental Bonding Instrument.
    Author: Helgeland MI, Torgersen S.
    Journal: Scand J Psychol; 1997 Mar; 38(1):39-43. PubMed ID: 9104102.
    Abstract:
    Maternal perceptions were assessed, using the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) in 19 subjects with schizophrenia, 14 subjects with borderline personality disorder and 15 non-clinical subjects. Subjects with schizophrenia and subjects with borderline personality disorder reported significantly less care and more overprotection than did non-clinical subjects. No significant differences were found in representations by subjects with schizophrenia and subjects with borderline personality disorders. To the extent that the reported negative maternal behaviour gives a true picture of childhood and adolescent experiences, it does not seem to be specific for schizophrenia, but may be one factor in the development of severe mental disorders.
