摘要
The relationship between causal attributions about mental illness and family functioning was investigated in 39 individuals with chronic mental illness and their families. Among parents and siblings, poor family functioning was associated with attribution to a person as the cause of the illness. Unexpectedly, no relationship was found between family functioning and causal attributions to genetics, biology, God, or chance.
