The mother of a client newly diagnosed with schizophrenia is a nurse. She unhappily tells the nurse on the unit, I've tried to be a good mother, but my daughter still developed schizophrenia.
 
  When I was in school, we were taught that it was the mother's fault if a child became schizo-phrenic. I wish I knew what I did wrong. The response that would help the mother evaluate models explaining schizophrenia would be:
  1. I can see how you would be upset over this turn of events.
  2. New findings suggest this disorder is biologic in nature.
  3. Don't be so hard on yourself; your daughter needs you to be strong.
  4. It's difficult to see that double-bind communication produces stress for the child at the time it's occurring.

Many individuals in the mental health field attribute the development of schizophrenia to multi-ple causes centering on biologic theories. Options 1, 3, and 4 do little to provide the mother with new information.
