I tried to go over my kindle highlights as I've read it quite a few years ago and wouldn't want to say something incorrect and I am now sure it blended in my memory with some other works from him that I've read like this one where he writes about 11 cases of families with schizophrenic child

Anyways, you mentioned lifelong eccentricity as a factor and for me the impression of his work was in the mould of treating every patient as a part of family unit, and he tried to uncover reality of that unit, and what would strike him as odd was that parents always used similar language about patients (their kids) being normal, or 'not that weird, etc.' only until some psychotic episode or other happened, where they couldn't further repress it, and strinkingly what connected many families was that the parents wouldn't acknowledge at all their part of the problem, or situation, even if they mistreated the child in the past.
It is really interesting reading, and I don't remember that many particulars, so if you are interested I can try to get the PDF your way.
