Summary:Data supporting the hypothesis that history of severe discipline and parental conflict in childhood is related to current violence were obtained in a study of 100 schizophrenic inpatients. In addition to a relation between inpatient violence and degree of schizophrenic symptoms, inpatient assaults and other dangerousness measures were positively and significantly correlated with severity of parental discipline, especially involving the father, and with degree of family conflict, particularly fights between parents and others outside the home.
