| Abstract: | T. S. Eliot's play, The Family Reunion ( 4 ), can be interpreted as a representation of a "schizophrenic" and his family. As such it illustrates some of the clinical insights of both individual psychiatry and family psychiatry. This paper will discuss the play from a clinical vantage point and conclude with a re-consideration of the concept of schizophrenia. |
