The thema of this paper is the role of a family in view of a mentally disabled person and his family. As a result of the study of families with schizophrenic patients, Lidz concluded that schizophrenic mother was generally fairly unstable and lacked the ability to discern the boundaries between herself and the child. Father also became confused and exposed hostility, passivity, overprotection and etc. Eventually, schizophrenia occurred because of the tension in the dissonance of parents. Bowen observed the families of adolescents with schizophrenia and discovered a symbiotic relationship between mother and child. Bowen as well as Lidz found out the cause of schizophrenia in the disharmony in the marriage and conceptualized it as ‘emotional divorce’. Bateson focused on the communication among family members. Wynn and singer explained a schizophrenic family by using the concept of ‘transactional thought disorder’. All families living with the disabled (especially the mentally disabled) is racked with pain. But, families, belonged to a parent group or self-help groups, are comforted by other families. They communicate and exchange their experiences one another.
