Associations between parental bonding during childhood and functional recovery in patients with schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Schizophrenia is believed to be etiologically associated with environmental factors. Poor parental bonding, especially arising from "low care" and "overprotection," may contribute to the prognosis in patients with psychosis. In the present study, we investigated the associations between the aforementioned two different parental bonding types and the prognosis, in terms of the functional recovery, of patients with schizophrenia.

Methods

A total of 89 patients with schizophrenia were recruited, and 79 patients were registered for the study. After the parental bonding types and representative childhood adverse events were assessed, specific items on the PANSS were assessed at 0 and 24 weeks of the study period to define the functional prognosis.
