The prevalence of parental bereavement was determined in 50 married female outpatients with a DSM-III diagnosis of agoraphobia and in a control group of married female outpatients diagnosed as having non-psychotic psychiatric disorders other than agoraphobia. The two groups were matched for age and overall severity of psychiatric symptoms. Compared with the general population, the patient control group reported a statistically significant excess of parental, but not maternal, bereavement. The agoraphobic group was significantly younger than the control group at the time of parental loss. These data, together with other reports, suggest a contribution of paternal bereavement before the age of 30 years to agoraphobia in married women and a contribution of recent parental bereavement ot psychiatric disorder in general.
对50名被诊断为广场恐怖症的已婚女性门诊患者以及一组被诊断患有除广场恐怖症之外的非精神病性精神障碍的已婚女性门诊患者对照组，进行了父母丧亡情况的患病率调查。两组在年龄和精神症状的总体严重程度上进行了匹配。与普通人群相比，患者对照组报告的父母丧亡（而非母亲丧亡）在统计学上显著过量。在父母丧亡时，广场恐怖症组比对照组明显年轻。这些数据，连同其他报告，表明30岁之前父亲丧亡对已婚女性广场恐怖症有影响，近期父母丧亡对一般精神障碍有影响。
