Abstract: Life situations pertaining to the relationship dimension are viewed in respect of families of anxiety patients and normals. Grand-parents' interference, parents-in-law relationships, parents' role functioning, siblings' interaction, marital relationships and other relatives' cooperation are studied for 20 anxiety patients and 40 normals based on group matching. It was found that frequent interference of grand-parents, dissatisfaction with parents-in-law, inadequate mutually contradictory parents' role runctioning, dis harmonious siblings interaction, threatening and conflicting marital life and lack of cooperation and support on the part of other relatives seem to be sources of anxiety in the Indian setting.
