Growing up with a schizophrenic mother
by Margaret J. Brown
- 2 Want to read
"Women with schizophrenia are often not diagnosed until their 30s or 40s, after many have become mothers. The result is a lifetime of torment, not only for the mothers, but for their children. Usually they suffer in silence.".
"Here is a book that breaks the silence. In it, 44 people describe the experience of growing up with a schizophrenic mother. In personal interviews they recall the confusion, isolation, and fear of their childhood years and discuss how those years have shaped their lives as adults.".
"Topics include symptoms and behavior, family dynamics, social isolation, coping mechanisms, the quality of adult life, and adult interactions with the mothers. A final chapter offers recommendations for professionals who may be searching for ways to address the needs of today's children."--BOOK JACKET.
