Abstract:
This paper examines the role of familial factors in the aetiology of puerperal psychosis. It reviews diagnostic issues associated with puerperal psychosis and the aetiology of the disorder in general before considering genetic studies in more detail. Owing to methodological difficulties, uncertainty over the importance of genetic factors persists.
