“…Though we expect that supportive and nonconflictual parent-adolescent relationships would serve to promote and protect adolescent emotional wellbeing across ethnically diverse groups (O'Connor, 2002;Steinberg, Mounts, Lamborn, & Dornbusch, 1991) there is relatively little research available that addresses these relationships in non-white samples (for exceptions see Brody, Kim, Murry, & Brown, 2005;Grant, Poindexter, Davis, Cho, McCormick, & Smith, 2000;Simons, Murry, McLoyd, Lin, Cutrona, & Conger, 2002). Additionally, it is not unlikely that cultural differences with regard to the expression and meaning of warmth and conflict within the family may influence the nature of associations between parent-adolescent relationships and adolescent symptomatology (Lopez, Hipke, Polo, Jenkins, Karno, Vaughn, et al, 2004).…”

This study compared family relationships across three groups of adolescents: a) those with unipolar depressive disorders (n = 82); b) those with subdiagnostic depressive symptoms (n = 78); and c) those without emotional or behavioral difficulties (n = 83). Results based on multi-source, multimethod constructs indicated that depressed adolescents, as well as those with subdiagnostic symptomatology, experience less supportive and more conflictual relationships with each of their parents than do healthy adolescents. These findings are notable in demonstrating that adverse fatheradolescent relationships are associated with depressive symptomatology in much the same way as mother-adolescent relationships. As well, they add to the emerging evidence that adolescents with subdiagnostic symptoms experience difficulties in social relationships similar to those experienced by adolescents with depressive disorder.The role of family relationships and interactional processes as factors relevant to child and adolescent depression has received increasing attention over the last decade (Sheeber, Hops, & Davis, 2001). The research to date suggests that adverse family environments characterized by the absence of warm and supportive interactions and, conversely, by elevated levels of conflictual and critical interactions are associated with depressive symptomatology and disorder (Sheeber et al., 2001). These findings are consistent with evidence that chronic interpersonal stress is negatively associated with children's emotional well-being (Compas, Grant, & Ey, 1994;Rudolph, Hammen, Burge, Lindberg, Herzberg, & Daley, 2000). It is important to note in this regard, that although adolescents spend increasing amounts of time with peers outside of the home, available evidence suggests that the family environment retains its salience and in fact, family relations appear to be more reliably associated with adolescent depressive symptomatology than are peer relations (Barrera & Garrison-Jones, 1992;McFarlane, Bellissimo, Norman, & Lange, 1994;Stice, Ragan, & Randall, 2004).The primary objective of this study, therefore, was to extend our understanding of family processes associated with adolescent depression by conducting a rigorous examination comparing the nature of mother-adolescent and father-adolescent relationships and interactional processes across three groups of adolescents: (a) those who met diagnostic criteria for unipolar depressive disorder (Depressed); (b) those with subdiagnostic levels of Correspondence concerning this article, including reprints, should be addressed to Lisa Sheeber, Ph.D., Oregon Research Institute, 1715 Franklin Blvd, Eugene, Oregon 97403.

“…In this regard, cross-sectional studies have linked the experience of stigma and other negative social interactions to worse outcomes, such as poorer life satisfaction (Dickerson, Sommerville, Origoni, Ringel, & Parente, 2002;Yanos, Rosenfield et al, 2001). Familial stressors (such as criticism and emotional overinvolvement) are also related to poorer concurrent subjective well-being (Lopez et al, 2004;Sullivan, Wells, & Lake, 1992). In addition, the experience of criminal victimization exerts a small prospective influence on worse quality of life outcomes among persons with severe mental illness.…”

Outcomes for health conditions are typically the result of multiple factors; however, studies tend to focus on a narrow class of variables. Functioning and well-being outcomes for schizophrenia are diverse and have resisted simple explanation; however, prior research has not offered an integrated understanding of the relative contributions of enduring and episodic environmental factors, personal resources and psychiatric factors, and cognitive appraisal and coping, on functioning and well-being outcomes in schizophrenia. The present article sets out an integrated model of the determinants of functioning and well-being among individuals with schizophrenia. To examine evidence that bears on the model, literature on hypothesized relationships is reviewed to identify areas for which there is strong evidence and areas where more research is needed. The article suggests areas for further research, and directs researchers and practitioners toward areas of intervention that can enhance functioning and well-being for persons diagnosed with schizophrenia.

“…The CFI is also the only form of EE assessment that provides data on all five EE variables (criticism, hostility, EOI, warmth, and positive remarks). Given the growing interest in measuring family warmth as a possible moderating variable (e.g., Lopez et al, 2004), the comprehensive coverage of family emotions provided by the CFI is a clear asset.…”

The construct of expressed emotion (EE) is a highly reliable and valid predictor of poor clinical outcomes in patients with major psychopathology. Patients are at early risk for relapse if they live with family members who are classified as high in EE. Conventionally, EE is assessed with the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI), a semistructured interview that is conducted with the patient's key relatives. Unfortunately, training in the CFI is difficult to obtain. The CFI is also time-consuming to administer and labor intensive to rate. In this article, the authors discuss alternative ways of assessing EE. They also evaluate the predictive validity of these measures and make recommendations for researchers and clinicians interested in using these assessments.
