Parents of schizophrenics (N = 17) were compared with parents of nonschizophrenic hospitalized patients (N = 14) and parents of normals (N = 15) on the degree of symbiotic enmeshment and confirmation of individuality in the parental relationship. Symbiosis was divided into six component variables: undifferentiation, dependency, intervention, disapproval of other relationships, separation difficulty, and injunctions. Confirmation was bifurcated into acknowledgment and accommodation. Projective tests (TAT and Make-A-Picture-Story) and interviews were used to measure both variables. The results suggest that mothers of schizophrenics tend to be symbiotically attached to their husbands and view their husbands as forming the same type of attachment to them. Fathers of schizophrenics do not tend to be symbiotically involved with their wives but fail to confirm them. The implications of the results for the family system of the schizophrenic are discussed.
对精神分裂症患者的父母（N = 17）、非精神分裂症住院患者的父母（N = 14）以及正常孩子的父母（N = 15）在共生融合程度和亲子关系中对个体性的确认方面进行了比较。共生被分为六个组成变量：未分化、依赖、干预、对其他关系的不赞同、分离困难和禁令。确认被分为认可和接纳。使用投射测验（主题统觉测验和编造故事测验）和访谈来测量这两个变量。结果表明，精神分裂症患者的母亲往往与丈夫共生依恋，并认为丈夫对她们形成了相同类型的依恋。精神分裂症患者的父亲往往没有与妻子共生卷入，但也没有确认她们。讨论了这些结果对精神分裂症患者家庭系统的影响。
