Abstract
An investigation was made on the relationship between recalled forms of childhood discipline practices and psychopathology. Psychiatric patients report a greater incidence of indirect discipline forms, while the control group reports a greater percentage of direct expressions of discipline. The assumption is made that the inability to come to terms with one''s own feelings regarding discipline-provoking situations is one aspect of a more generalized emotional suppression. The child learns to respond as he has been responded to.Keywords
