Synopsis

Mate selection is no less important for psychiatric sufferers than for the rest of the population because of its possible implications on the course and heredity of the illness. This book reviews psychological and sociological perspectives of courtship and marriage, and goes on to look at genetic studies of mental illness and the ethical dilemma encountered in this issue. Drawing on a research study of schizophrenic patients and their spouses, the book reports the findings in the major areas of courtship and marriage, personality traits, minor psychiatric disturbances, and social opinions towards psychiatric illness and psychiatric patients.
