Extract
Research in the field of interpersonal behaviour is widely recognised as an important key to understanding the nature of mental illness. In schizophrenic patients especially, deviant social interaction has been proved to be associated with pathological behaviour (see Bellack et al, 1989). Numerous studies have revealed that affective attitudes expressed towards the patient by a relative during hospital admission for an episode of schizophrenia (high expressed emotion (EE)) are predictive of the short-term course of the disorder (Leff & Vaughn, 1985; Jenkins et al, 1986; Nuechterlein et al, 1986; Mintz et al, 1987).
