{"product_id":"growing-up-with-a-schizophrenic-mother","title":"Growing Up with a Schizophrenic Mother","description":"An estimated two to three million people in the United States today were raised by a schizophrenic parent. Brown and Roberts offer a unique book based on interviews with over forty adult children of mothers diagnosed as schizophrenic. Such topics as the isolation their family felt, their chaotic home environments, their present relationships with their mothers, and the lost potential of mother and child are covered. Their stories are fascinating and provide important information to both the mental health community and the lay public. The offspring have been described as having higher rates of \"increased aggressivity\" and \"sibling conflict,\" but often their circumstances strengthened these children and contributed to artistic and creative talents, resiliency, and high achievements.\nThe authors provide an overview of schizophrenia, behaviors of the affected parent, and the marital relationship of the patient and her non-schizophrenic spouse. As adults, the respondents now share their grievances about the psychological community--what they needed and did not get. Brown and Roberts then present suggestions for treatment of affected children aimed at psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and health care providers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0786408200\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0786408200.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Brown, Margaret J.|Roberts, Doris Parker\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
