A review of recent studies of family interaction as a causal factor in the development of schizophrenia suggests a paucity of evidence supporting this point of view. However, research has suggested family variables may influence the course and outcome of schizophrenia. The impact of schizophrenia on the family has recently received more attention. Some research has identified differences between families of schizophrenics and the families of other diagnostic groups and controls. Whether these studies are beginning to influence the theory and practice of family therapy is discussed. Recent studies suggest the combination of long-acting medication and 'psychosocial' interventions may reduce the relapse rate of schizophrenia in the short term. This research suggests that family therapists must re-evaluate their role in the management of schizophrenia.
一项关于家庭互动作为精神分裂症发病原因的近期研究综述表明，支持这一观点的证据不足。然而，研究表明家庭变量可能会影响精神分裂症的病程和预后。精神分裂症对家庭的影响最近受到了更多关注。一些研究已经确定了精神分裂症患者家庭与其他诊断组家庭及对照组家庭之间的差异。本文讨论了这些研究是否开始影响家庭治疗的理论和实践。近期研究表明，长效药物与“心理社会”干预相结合可能会在短期内降低精神分裂症的复发率。这项研究表明，家庭治疗师必须重新评估他们在精神分裂症治疗中的作用。
