title: [Childhood psychoses and the family].
abstract: This paper reviews 328 child psychiatric case histories over a period of 3 years; 19 were classified as psychoses. Five cases presented frank clinical symptomatology and 14 were detected by psychological testing. Individual and family therapy were used. The most important findings were the following: 1. Immature parents, with a dominant mother figure and a weak father figure. 2. Lack of a good father-child relationship. 3. Poor communication among family members. 4. Parents' rejection of their responsability in managing the psychotic child.
