Extract

A number of recent studies (Leff & Vaughn, 1985; Nuechterlein et al, 1986; Jenkins et al, 1986; Mintz et al, 1987) have indicated that attitudes of family members towards a relative with schizophrenia (termed High Epressed Emotion (EE)), are predictive of the short-term course of the patient's disorder. The measure used to define EE status of a relative is a semi-structured interview, the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI) (Vaughn & Leff, 1976), which is usually administered shortly after the patient is admitted to hospital for an index episode of the disorder.
