“…These are cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and interventions with the families of people with psychosis (FI) Birchwood & Spencer, 1999 ;Kuipers et al 1999). It is unlikely that these work in the same way.…”

“…However, the benefits were limited to the duration of the intervention. There is now evidence from a meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials (reported in Kuipers et al 1999) that FI also needs to be continued for positive effects to be maintained. This analysis found that for single family therapy, the number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent relapse in the first year of treatment was 6n3 ; in the second year of treatment this fell to 3n9.…”

“…Two sorts of psychological intervention seem to be effective in diminishing positive symptoms and their re-emergence. These are cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and interventions with the families of people with psychosis (FI) (Haddock et al 1998 ;Birchwood & Spencer, 1999 ;Kuipers et al 1999). It is unlikely that these work in the same way.…”

“…Family intervention (FI), in contrast, primarily targets the behaviour of family members. It improves social function (Barrowclough & Tarrier, 1990) and reduces exacerbations of positive symptoms (Pharoah et al 1999 ;Kuipers et al 1999). We offer competing hypotheses about how it affects the cognitive processing of sufferers.…”

A cognitive model of the positive symptoms of psychosis

In the last 10 years a consensus has developed that the symptoms of psychosis may be better understood by linking the steps between the phenomenological experiences and social, psychological and neurobiological levels of explanation. Cognitive models of psychosis are an important link in this chain. They provide a psychological description of the phenomena from which hypotheses concerning causal processes can be derived and tested; social, individual, and neurobiological factors can then be integrated via their impact on these cognitive processes. In this paper, we set out the cognitive processes that we think lead to the formation and maintenance of the positive symptoms of psychosis and we attempt to integrate into our model research in social factors. If this model proves useful, a fuller integration with the findings of biological research will be required (Frith, 1992).

Expressed emotion, burden and quality of life of relatives received attention because of the increasing interest in predicting and preventing relapse in psychotic patients; but they have subsequently acquired interest of their own as important aspects of families' psychological well-being. The study explores whether the psychological distress and illness perception of a sample of relatives of Mexican patients with psychosis can predict their levels of expressed emotion, burden and quality of life above patients' clinical and functional status. Sixty-five patient-relative dyads were interviewed. Relatives self-reported on expressed emotion, burden, quality of life, psychological distress and illness perception. Patients' clinical and functional status was rated by an interviewer. Pearson correlations and hierarchical multiple linear regressions were used for statistical analyses. Patients' functional status and relatives' psychological distress were significantly associated with expressed emotion, burden and quality of life. Patients' clinical status and relatives' illness perception were most strongly related to expressed emotion and burden. Relatives' psychological distress and illness perception dimensions predicted both burden and quality of life, over and above patients' clinical and functional status. Results underscore the relatives' need of support to overcome their own distress and concerns about the illness, for the psychological well-being of both patients and relatives.
