“…The psychometric properties of the PBI are good, with good internal consistency, high test-retest reliability, and considerable support for its validity as a measure of actual parenting in both clinical and nonclinical samples (Parker, 1989). The Italian translation of the PBI (Scinto, Marinangeli, Kalyvoka, Daneluzzo, & Rossi, 1999) was used in this study, and consistent with previous research (Schimmenti et al, 2015b) an index on childhood emotional neglect was calculated by subtracting the sum of PBI maternal and paternal care scores from the sum of PBI maternal and paternal overprotection scores, that is: [(PBI mother's overprotection ϩ PBI father's overprotection) Ϫ (PBI mother's care ϩ PBI father's care)]. Therefore, higher scores on this index indicate higher exposure to parental emotional neglect during childhood.…”

“…There is compelling scientific evidence which introduces childhood neglect as a risk factor for mental disorders in adulthood [ 25 ]. In a study in Italy, a strong relationship was observed between parents’ emotional neglect and children’s mental disorders [ 26 ]. Emotional neglect usually stems from a parent’s failure or refusal to satisfy their children’s psychological needs.…”

Background Numerous bio-psychosocial factors play a role in the etiology of psychiatric disorders. In this regard, the relationship between parents and their children is significantly involved in developing the offspring mental health. However, there is no clear-cut answer as to which parental bonding style is more strongly associated with psychiatric diseases of patients. This study aimed to compare parental bonding styles in patients with schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder in Bushehr province, Iran in 2018. Methods In this cross-sectional comparative study, 130 patients with schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder who referred to four outpatients psychiatric centers in Bushehr were selected using quota sampling. The patients were assessed and compared in terms of parental bonding styles. Data were collected using a valid and reliable parental bonding instrument (PBI). Data were analyzed using SPSS software (ver. 22), Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests at a significant level of 0.05. Results Results showed that the optimal parental bonding style (low control, high care) in bipolar disorder (43.05%), major depression (47.7%), and schizophrenia (38.5%) was the most prevalent style of parental bonding; however, 62.30% of the above patients suffered from inefficient paternal bonding styles and 51.53% from inefficient maternal bonding styles. Furthermore, the patients’ maternal bonding styles were significantly different (p = 0.007) while their paternal bonding styles did not show any significant differences (p = 0.848). Conclusions Most of the patients with psychiatric disorders were affected by ineffective parenting styles. The results also confirmed that despite the several bio-psycho-social factors involved in the development of psychiatric disorders, the crucial roles of parents, especially mothers, should not be ignored. It was further suggested that parents and parental bonding were important and fundamental factors for mental health promotion.
