description This study of the emotional atmosphere in the schizophrenic patients� homes in Southern California has replicated British results in relation to the influence of family environment on the course of schizophrenia. As in the British work, the critics and excessive emotional implication of a key family member to the patient at the moment of his or her admission are the best isolated predictor of a future symptomatic relapse in the next 9 mounths after the patient is discharged from hospital. Again as in the British results, the association between the relative�s expressed emotion and the patients� relapse was independent from all the other studied variables. Transcultural results on preventive effects of medication suggest that doctors should consider the emotional atmosphere at home wen it comes to explain the failures of medication.
