Understanding Family Variables in Outcome Research in Schizophrenia

Pages 396-402 | Published online: 06 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Outcome studies in schizophrenia research consistently show the importance of family variables in predicting patient relapse. The concept of expressed emotion (EE) is clinically relevant, though concerns remain about its precise meaning. The history of the EE studies is reviewed in the light of other family research, and an alternative model of family emotional environment is proposed. A number of clinical implications are considered.
