Hollingshead, August B., & Lloyd H. Rogler, Lower Socioeconomic Status and Mental Illness, reprinted from Sociology and Social Research, Vol. 46, Num. 4, July 1962.

Abstract:

The materials presented are selected from families in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In one-half of the families, one spouse is suffering from schizophrenia; in the other one-half, both spouses are mentally healthy. Comparable data are available on each type of family. More mental illness is reported in the families of orientation where one spouse is schizophrenic than in the families where both spouses are free of psychotic illness.
