2022-2024 Year 13 A-Level Psychology - Schizophrenia: Biological Explanations of Schizophrenia - Genetics/Neural

This flashcard set covers the biological explanations of schizophrenia, focusing on genetics and neural factors. It explains that schizophrenia is believed to be caused by physical processes in the body, particularly genetic inheritance. The genetic explanation suggests that SZ is hereditary, meaning it can be passed down through familial genes.

2022-2024 Year 13 A-Level Psychology - Schizophrenia: Psychological Explanations - Family Dysfunction Part 2

This flashcard set focuses on the schizophrenogenic mother as part of the family dysfunction explanation of schizophrenia. It outlines how certain maternal characteristics — such as being cold, controlling, and emotionally distant — can create an environment of tension and secrecy within the family. This hostile atmosphere fosters distrust, which may contribute to the development of paranoid delusions, a key symptom of schizophrenia.
