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.

“…In routine clinical settings it is not practical to administer the Camberwell Family Interview [118] to assess the construct of expressed emotion. However, brief alternatives that may be useful in assessing relevant parental attitudes in routine practice are the Family Attitudes Scale [119] and the Level of Expressed Emotion scale [120].…”

Objective: The literature on bipolar in children and adolescents was reviewed to provide an update for clinicians. Review process: Literature of particular relevance to evidence-based practice was selected for critical review. Outcomes: An up-to-date overview of clinical features, epidemiology, prognosis, aetiology, assessment and intervention was provided. Conclusions: Bipolar disorder in children and adolescence is a relatively common, multifactorially determined and recurring problem which persists into adulthood. Psychometrically robust screening questionnaires and structured interviews facilitate reliable assessment. Multimodal chronic care programmes involving medication (notably lithium) and familyoriented psychotherapy are currently the treatment of choice. Keywords: Paediatric bipolar disorder, bipolar disorderResumen Objetivo: Se revisó la literatura sobre el trastorno bipolar en niñ os y adolescentes para ofrecer una actualizació n al médico.

Resultados: Se brinda una revisió n actualizada sobre las características clínicas, la epidemiología, el pronó stico, la evaluació n y el manejo. Conclusión: El trastorno bipolar es un problema recurrente y relativamente comú n en niñ os y adolescentes, determinado a partir de mú ltiples factores, y que persiste hasta la edad adulta. La aplicació n de cuestionarios psicométricos de tamizaje y de entrevistas estructuradas permite una evaluació n confiable.
