Abstract
Discussions of parental causation of schizophrenia in nine current abnormal psychology textbooks were examined. Most texts discussed the concept of the schizophrenogenic parent and noted to imply that the concept remains a viable one despite lack of confirming evidence. Implications of these findings for psychologists are noted.Keywords
