Causal beliefs regarding the onset of psychiatric disorder and treatment expectations for clients admitted to a psychiatric unit were examined from the points of view of the clients themselves, their relatives and staff. Results suggested that these beliefs were influenced by the admission itself. Those clients who had been admitted previously held significantly higher biological causal beliefs than those who had been admitted for the first time; as compared to staff who did not distinguish between the two groups in this way. The mean psychosocial views of relatives decreased significantly over the two-month period following an admission. Clients' and relatives' mean biological views were significantly greater than those of staff. Various correlations were found between causal beliefs and treatment expectations including one in the relative's' view between psychosocial causal beliefs and the importance assigned to family therapy. Indeed, there was a significant decrease in the family therapy rating over time given by relatives.

The present study investigated the presence of conceptual disorganization among children at risk for future emotional disturbance. 105 children born to schizophrenic, depressed, and unaffected mothers were administered the Object Sorting Test (OST) which was scored for both developmental quality and the gradations of deviant responses. The results indicated that children with schizophrenic mothers exhibited more conceptual disorganization and lower scores for developmental quality in concept formation on the OST than did children of either depressed or unaffected mothers. For the three groups of children, lower scores for developmental quality in concept formation were significantly associated with ratings of greater severity in overall behavior dysfunction.
