The effect of maternal psychotic illness on a child

AJ Mander, B Norton and P Hoare
Department of Psychiatry, University of Edinburgh.

We report the case of an 11-year-old girl who had been living with only her mother, a woman with chronic schizophrenia. The girl had been caught shoplifting with her mother, and had a long history of non- attendance at school. The case emphasises that adult psychiatrists should always consider the impact of chronic parental psychiatric disorder on children, particularly in one-parent families.
