... Clinical relapse is common and has a measurably negative impact on the course of both schizophrenia and SAD (Angst et al., 1980;Malhi et al., 2008;Robinson et al., 1999), including poorer treatment response (Emsley et al., 2013), poorer quality of life (Briggs et al., 2008), and neurological changes (Van Haren et al., 2007). Frequent relapses accelerate social impairment (Hogarty et al., 1991) and increase the likelihood of having residual symptoms of the disorder (Shepherd et al., 1989). ...

... The term psychoeducation is beginning to be used in its current meaning in the 1980s by Carol Anderson and colleagues, referring to the method of providing "information which attempts to equip the family with a rational guide for interacting" with patients with schizophrenia (Anderson et al., 1980, p. 502). In this decade and the ones that followed, other authors dedicated themselves to the psychoeducation of families of patients with schizophrenia (Falloon et al., 1985;Hogarty et al., 1986;McFarlane et al., 1995;Solomon, 1996). In the 90s, followers of Fritz Redl, in their monograph "Psychoeducation: An Idea Whose Time Has Come," argued that within the definition of psychoeducation, "psycho" offers a broad range of psychological theories that anchor the approaches, issues, programs missions, assessments, contents and practices (Wood et al., 1999). ...

... The finding of weak negative correlation between primary caregiver critical comments and burden of care, that is, those caregivers showing less EE were more likely to suffer from higher burden of care, supports the findings of an earlier study. [36] The finding of a weak positive correlation between primary caregiver EOI and well-being can be explained by the fact that caregivers who are emotionally over involved often keep the patients' needs over their own and sacrifice/neglect personal needs which can cause deterioration of health and poor well-being. [37] Severity of illness and EE The observation of a moderate positive correlation between severity of schizophrenia symptoms and EE of primary caregiver is in agreement with an earlier study. ...

Relation of Expressed Emotions and Burden of Care in Primary Caregivers to Severity of Illness in Schizophrenia Patients: A Cross-Sectional, Hospital based Study

... Stressful family relationships, as reflected by relatives' attitudes and behaviors such as criticism, hostility, and emotional overinvolvement toward a member (referred to as "expressed emotion"), have been found to be an especially potent predictor of symptom relapses in individuals living with or in frequent contact with family (Amaresha & Venkatasubramanian, 2012;Hooley, 2007). Reducing stressful communication styles in family members in order to improve the course of SMI is one of the first rationales for developing family intervention programs (Anderson et al., 1980;McFarlane, 2016), with evidence showing improvements in it mediate the benefits of family treatment (Miklowitz et al., 2009). ...
