Abstract
Objective: This systematic review explores the impact of parents with psychosis on parenting and parent-child relationship. Method: Psychiatric disorders in which psychosis may be found such as; schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (manic-depressive) and personality disorders, studies assess either fathers or mothers as parents experiencing psychosis and samples of children or adolescents aged until 18 were included in the review. As the search strategy; PsycINFO, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Maternity and Infant Care, PsycARTICLES and Cochrane databases were searched from the beginning of databases. Seven studies were reviewed. Results: Overall, studies portray consistency on the fact that having parents with psychosis induces chaotic, ambivalent communication; severe impairments in the ability of parenting; parenting stress; disorganized, disrupted parenting as well as maladjusted relationship; parents experiencing burden of nurturing and features of permissive, neglectful and authoritarian parenting styles. Conclusion: In families where parental psychotic disorder disrupts parenting and parent-child relationship, the more family functioning and parents are supported, less possible negative outcomes and disorganization occur. There is a significant lack of psychological support for parents with psychotic disorders, so that necessity for treatment and support is indisputable.
