Abstract
ABSTRACT– This article describes the development of a prospective, longitudinal study of 88 “high‐risk” offspring of pregnant index women with a history of nonorganic psychoses and 104 offspring of demographically‐similar pregnant control women. The maternal psychoses represented the diagnostic categories, Schizophrenia, Cycloid Psychosis, Affective Illness, Psychogenic Psychosis, Postpartum Psychosis and Other (remaining) Psychoses. The first phase of the study began during pregnancy and continued until the offspring reached 2 years of age. Selected characteristics of the mothers, the offspring and their environments were investigated during this project phase.Keywords
