description This study is a replication and extension of a previous work performed by Brown, Birley and Wing (1972) about the influence of family life in schizophrenia�s course. Brown�s main results have been replicated in two clinically different groups of psychiatric patients. The relative�s expressed emotion seems again to be related to relapses, independently of any other social or clinical factor studied. A high level of the relatives� expressed emotion at the time of the patient�s admission, remains as the best isolated predictor of symptomatic relapse during the next 9 months after the discharge from hospital. Important addictive effects have been also reported on social influences and pharmacological treatments, which enables us to predict relapsing patterns in schizophrenia with notorious accuracy. These patterns are different for the 2 studied groups: patients with schizophrenic psychosis and with depressive neurosis.
