Abstract
Serious contradictions in recent research programs concerning communication anomalies in parents of schizophrenics have been generated by invalid statistical analyses. The method of analysis used, the analysis of covariance, can lead to erroneous conclusions in the context of these studies, and thus, other means must be sought for bringing these important research programs into common focus.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
