The concept of human relatedness was reexamined in the context of a standardized evaluation of 55 boys and 13 girls referred with a diagnosis of childhood psychosis. Human relatedness was hypothesized to be a multidimensional complex construct which could be analyzed in terms of simpler, more basic functions. All children were evaluated on a 14-point diagnostic scale. Analysis of diagnostic data generated three factors, one of which comprised a cluster of variables representing a measure of human relatedness and various perceptual functions. The hypothesis was supported by factor loadings. Also, a multiple regression analysis indicated that most of the variance in human relatedness could be accounted for by perceptual variables. It is suggested that impairment of human relatedness is largely due to impaired perceptual functions, and that much inappropriate maternal behavior is in response to such functions.
