“…Regarding the decrease in expressed emotion of the primary caregiver, since the pioneering studies of Brown (Brown, 1959;Brown & Rutter, 1966;Brown, Birley, & Wing, 1972), who associated the measure with the course of the evolution of schizophrenia, most subsequent studies have continued to explore this line. They have also associated the psychosocial intervention implemented in addition to pharmacological treatment with the decrease in expressed emotion (Vaughn, 1986;Gonçalves-Pereira et al, 2007;Bucci, Berry, Barrowclough, & Haddock, 2016;Grácio, Gonçalves-Pereira, & Leff, 2016;Leff, Kuipers, Berkowitz, Eberlein-Vries, & Sturgeon, 1982;Amaresha & Venkatasubramanian, 2012;McFarlane, 2016;Marvin, Miklowitz, O'Brien, & Cannon, 2016). As regards clinical symptoms, our study does not show a clear effect of FBT reducing them, which coincides with what has been reported by other previous studies (Lobban et al, 2013;Nilsen, Frich, Friis, Norheim, & Røssberg, 2016;Lobban & Barrowclough, 2016).…”
