Esther lives with her parents. She frequently has relapses into schizophrenia. If her family is characterized by expressed emotion, what behaviors can we expect of her parents that induce relapse?
What will be an ideal response?
They are emotionally overinvolved in Esther's life and at the same time excessively critical of her. Expressed emotion would be especially intense if Esther's parents believe that Esther can control her schizophrenic symptoms and chooses not to. Conflict is likely to be two-way between Esther and her parents. In addition, hostility in the family is the third factor that increases relapse.
