Abstract
To test further the highly successful outcomes of a controlled study of in-home behavioural family management (BFM) for schizophrenic patients, a clinic-based version of this intervention was compared with customary care alone for 41 schizophrenic patients in a Veterans Administration (VA) mental health clinic. Monthly Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) ratings, conducted by clinic psychiatrists who were 'blind' to the patients' assignment, revealed that 3 (14%) patients who received behavioural family management as well as customary care, as compared with 11 (55%) patients who received customary care alone, had symptomatic exacerbations during the first year of treatment.

The results provide evidence for the causal role of relatives' expressed emotion (EE) in schizophrenic relapse, as well as for the therapeutic effectiveness of social intervention combined with drug treatment.

A reanalysis of the data indicates that early intervention with neuroleptics in first-break schizophrenic patients increases the likelihood of an improved long-term course and there is evidence that stable schizophrenia patients whose neuroleptic treatment is discontinued and have relapses may have a difficult time returning to their previous level of function.

Significantly lower levels of schizophrenic symptomatology on blind rating-scale assessments supported clinical observations of the superiority of family management, and the family-treatment approach sought to enhance the stress-reducing capacity of the patient and his or her family.

The relative efficacy of the family approach did not appear to be due to prognostic factors, rater bias, stressful life events, or the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy, and Definitive tests of these findings with respect to efficacy require further well-designed studies.
