Abstract

In the siblings of schizophrenics, the refusal to the hospital admission is the most disturbing behavior followed by unusual speech and behavior, physical anergia, sleeping behavior, and suicidal idea and attempt.
3) In the domain of intrafamilial relationship, both groups showed great interests about the ways to improve communication with ill relatives and the right attitude toward patients.
