the difference was of statistical significance as
regard social behavior disorders, feeding disorders,
excretory function disorders, psychoneurotic disorders
and psychotic disorders.
The family history of psychiatric disorders was
significantly increased among schizophrenic parents
compared with parents of the control group.
As regard family structure it was found that the
incidence of divorce and polygany was increased among
schizophrenic families which reflects the disturbance
of interparental relationships. The separation of
parents was also increased due to long time hospitalization.
The interparental relationship among schizophrenic
families was characterized by domination, conflicts,helpless
dislike and aggression.
The attitude of the diseased parents toward their
children was of significant difference in rejecting

toward their diseased parents. The attitude of healthy
parents was of significant difference in overprotecti_
veness, and this interprets the increased incidence
of dependence among their children.
The attitude of the child toward his siblings
was characterized by cOnflicts, jealosy and dislike.
Family crises occured in 64% of cases and was
statistically significant. Financial crises occured
in 28% of cases and separation in 24%, and divorce in
14%, while there is no increase in death of an important
person in the family, or in migration.
Offspring of schizophrenics showed significant
difference in both sUdden onset of weaning and toilet
training, but there is no much differen~e was reported
as regard: age, six, birth order, prenatal and
natal history, feeding, growth and development, and
history of physical illness.
The commenest type of pUnishment in our sample
was severe beating, and the play was not allowed.
These are factors which lead to runaway behavior among

the children.
The increased incidence of psychiatric disorders
among those children was reflected on the relationships
between them and thier schoolmates and also on their
scholastic achievement.
Personal, social and general adjustment in offspring
of schizophrenics was highly impaired.

CONCLUSIONS :
1- Children of schizophrenic parents show high incidence
of different forms of psychiatric disorders which
requires more effort to reach an accepted form of
classification.
2- Children of schizophrenic parents are exposed to
multiple deleterious family experiences to which the
control groups are not equally subjected.
J- The intrafamilial relationships among schizophrenic
families are disturbed and have bad effects on their
children.
4- Personal, social and general adjustment in offspring
of schizophrenics is highly impaired
