EXPRESSED EMOTION
Evaluation point 2
-
conducted a 9month follow-up study looking at sz patients who return home to high or low EE families, low EE had 10% relapse, compared to 58% high EE relapse
clearly suggests high EE poses a risk of relapse, however only 58% so maybe another role?
a positive is that the study was conducted over a long period of time, therefore the results are likely to be representative picture of the role EE plays in sz

Evaluation point 3
-
-
cannot be sure high EE is causing sz, could be living with individual causes families to display high EE due to stress
Evaluation point 4
-
high EE is less common in the families of first-episode patients than in those families where the patient has had frequent relapses, high EE may be a result of living with a sz rather than a cause as families of first-episode patients show less EE, maybe due to them not experiencing the stress of living with an individual who relapses

Evaluation point 5
benefited society as an explanation, leading to effective therapy
families who express high EE are taught how to reduce levels of EE, therapies reduce relapse rates
individual and family members will have a better quality of life, success of therapy is also sugesting high levels of EE must play a role in causes relapse as rates of relapse are reduced when relatives were taught how to reduce EE rates
-
theory proposes that high levels of EE in the home is a source of stress in the environment that can trigger sz in those already vulnerable, increase likelihood of relapse and readmission into hospital
