From the Paper:

"Today's modern American family, on entering the twenty- first century, is beset by events and conditions that, fifty years ago, were the story lines of authors such as Orwell and Hersey. Mega-technology, ever-increasing healthcare costs, unprecedented scientific advancement, continual cost of living increases, global conflict, and a broadening of cultural diversity besiege the American family today. The pressures brought to bear on the family are healthy in some ways and detrimental in others. With so much more pressure confronting the American family, the rise of psychopathology must be addressed. The remainder of this report will examine one particular psychological disorder, schizophrenia, with respect to its relationship with the modern American family."
