Various aspects of adoption--psychopathology, age at placement, agency versus independent placement, best age to tell child he is adopted, etc.--are studied in three groups of adoptees: biological parent schizophrenic or manic-depressive; adoptive parent schizoprenic or manic-depressive; biological parent with no psychiatric history. Findings raise questions about a number of common assumptions regarding adoptees.
研究了收养的各个方面——精神病理学、安置时的年龄、机构收养与独立收养、告知孩子其被收养的最佳年龄等——对三组被收养者进行了研究：亲生父母患有精神分裂症或躁郁症；养父母患有精神分裂症或躁郁症；亲生父母无精神病史。研究结果对一些关于被收养者的常见假设提出了疑问。
