- individual explanations of schizophrenia
- schizophrenogenic mother
- first proposed by Fromm-Reichman (1948) and encompasses the theory that a marital schism (overly dominant mother) may be a trigger for schizophrenia
- According to this explanation, the mother of a child who would eventually develop schizophrenia would be controlling and overprotective, but also cold and distant concerning the child’s emotional and mental needs.
- Over-protection stifles development and leaves the individual emotionally insecure, thus resulting in disordered thinking and abnormal development of neurotransmitters like dopamine, as found by Herman and Jones (1976).
