["Hill, Sean" <shill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You might find something in this paper, though it mostly focuses on the
special counseling needs of children with parents diagnosed with SMI,
schizophrenia in particular.

Subject: SMI parents and potential for maltreatment


Does anyone know of research (sources, cites, etc.) that show/indicate that
children raised by a parent with a serious mental illness are at greater
risk of maltreatment than children raised by healthy parents?  To what
extent is the risk greater?  Or, how much more at risk are these children?

Any thoughts, suggestions, or cites are appreciated!

THANKS,

Michelle
