Testing cooperation in parents with children destined for home dialysis
Abstract:
Ten married couples with children in the dialysis department of the University's Children Hospital of Heidelberg are examined by means of different tests (Joint Rorschach, Simfam, Giessen Test, Bales scale, Expert rating) and compared with a group of ten psychologically 'extraordinary' as well as ten psychologically 'ordinary' couples. The problem was to find out whether the emotional family atmosphere is stable enough to provide the child with home dialysis or whether the parents need psychotherapeutic preparation.
