History
In 1987 the Institute of Psychiatry ran the Familial and Environmental Factors in Functional Psychosis Study. The study aimed to establish the significance of familial and early environmental factors in psychotic illness. The study involved interviewing patients and first degree relatives (preferably the mother), examining patients' educational history prior to illness and taking CT (computerised tomography) scans.
