Recently more and more families have assumed the role of primary caregiver for their schizophrenic relatives. The author enumerates the needs of caregiving families and reviews the work of researchers involved in family therapy approaches to the treatment of schizophrenia. After discussing theories based on the concept of expressed emotion--that is, the amount of hostility, intrusiveness, or criticism expressed by family members toward the schizophrenic relative--the author examines the effects of contact with families exhibiting high expressed emotion on patient relapse. He suggests that high expressed emotion is not a characteristic unique to families of schizophrenic patients and calls for further standardized research among families who care for individuals with other mental disorders.
最近，越来越多的家庭承担起了对患精神分裂症亲属的主要照顾者角色。作者列举了照顾者家庭的需求，并回顾了参与精神分裂症家庭治疗方法研究的人员的工作。在讨论了基于情感表达概念的理论（即家庭成员对患精神分裂症亲属表达的敌意、侵扰或批评的程度）之后，作者研究了与表现出高情感表达的家庭接触对患者复发的影响。他指出，高情感表达并非精神分裂症患者家庭所独有的特征，并呼吁对照顾其他精神障碍患者的家庭进行进一步的标准化研究。
