Popis: Objective Relationship quality in families with a schizophrenic adolescent is demonstrated by means of the concepts of ambivalence and Expressed Emotions. A concept for the work with families focusing on relationship quality as well as an empirical study analysing the correlation between symptom state and relationship quality are presented. Methods A questionnaire to register the family atmosphere (FEF) and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) were administered to 43 schizophrenic patients. Results The sample replicated the parental relationship styles "criticism" and "emotional over-involvement". Both styles show different correlations with particular symptom areas: uncertainty in social relationships and somatic symptoms support the criticism relationship style and depression protects the adolescents from emotional over-involvement. Conclusions The results are helpful with regard to parent counseling because they enable the parents to develop alternative relationship styles in time.
