Abstract

Background

This study examined the relationship between discrepancies in beliefs about schizophrenia and Expressed Emotion (EE) in family dyads.

Method

Illness beliefs were assessed in patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and their relatives (N=49 dyads). The degree and the direction of discrepancy were calculated, and comparisons were made between dyads in which the relative was rated as high EE and dyads in which the relative was rated as low EE.

Results

There was greater discrepancy between illness models of schizophrenia in dyads involving a high-EE relative than in dyads involving a low-EE relative. This difference was not accounted for by the differences in either relatives' or patients' beliefs alone.

Conclusion

Further research is needed to understand EE in the context of discrepancies in beliefs between patients and relatives rather than focussing on relatives' beliefs alone.
