Brown and colleagues found that patients who had been discharged from the hospital after an episode of schizophrenic symptoms did better (i.e., had a lower rate of relapse) if they had limited contact with their relatives compared to those who spent longer periods with their families. This was attributed to the high levels of expressed emotion in the family environment, which could exacerbate the patient's condition.
