In 1948, Fromm-Reichmann argued that a 'schizophrenogenic'
mother, one who is both overprotective and hostile to her children,
caused schizophrenia.
Some others suggested that life events are a cause of schizophrenia.
This theory is based on the finding that schizophrenics experience substantially
more life events in the period prior to the onset of the illness and
that life events appear to precipitate deterioration.
The neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia proposes that a proportion
of schizophrenia is the result of an early brain insult which affects
brain development leading to abnormalities which are expressed in the
mature brain.
