Interviews with 23 chronically institutionalized, schizophrenic women living on a chronic care unit indicated that the majority had a continuing interest in sex and engaged in sexual activity. Fourteen of the women wanted to become pregnant. Few seemed to recognize their limited potential to be adequate parents. Respondents often gave bizarre or inaccurate responses to the interview questions, indicating that their ideas about contraception, pregnancy, and childrearing were affected by psychopathology. The authors concede that the task of designing and implementing birth control programs for severely ill schizophrenic patients is formidable but encourage mental health professionals to openly discuss sex, birth control, and having children with their patients.
对居住在长期护理病房的23名长期住院的精神分裂症女性进行的访谈表明，大多数人对性仍有兴趣并参与性活动。其中14名女性想要怀孕。几乎没有人似乎意识到自己作为合格父母的潜力有限。受访者对访谈问题的回答常常怪异或不准确，这表明她们对避孕、怀孕和育儿的观念受到了精神病理学的影响。作者承认，为重症精神分裂症患者设计和实施节育计划的任务艰巨，但鼓励心理健康专业人员与患者公开讨论性、节育和生育问题。
