A closed time-limited therapy group was conducted for four women who had all been raised by mentally ill mothers. Themes recurring frequently included hatred of self and mother, current lack of extended family support, current parenting difficulties, ongoing stigma and isolation. All group members perceived themselves as troubled despite others' perceptions of them as resilient. The results for the individuals treated are outlined using clinical material, as statistical analysis was not undertaken. All were able to cease individual therapy. Conclusions focus on the benefits of such a group process of recognition and affirmation of the profound consequences of a mother's mental illness on her daughters and thence to grandchildren. The possibility of primary prevention using techniques from infant-parent and child-group therapy is discussed.
为四名均由患有精神疾病的母亲抚养长大的女性开展了一个封闭式限时治疗小组。频繁出现的主题包括对自我和母亲的仇恨、目前缺乏大家庭支持、当前育儿困难、持续存在的污名化和孤立感。尽管其他人认为小组成员有复原力，但所有成员都认为自己有困扰。由于未进行统计分析，所以使用临床资料概述了接受治疗个体的结果。所有人都能够停止个体治疗。结论聚焦于这样一个小组过程的益处，即认识并肯定母亲的精神疾病对其女儿乃至孙辈产生的深远影响。还讨论了运用婴儿-父母和儿童小组治疗技术进行一级预防的可能性。
