Family therapy is a psychological therapy carried out with all or some members of a family with a schizophrenic individual, with the aim of improving the quality of their communication and reducing the stress of living as a family.
What does family therapy aim to do?
Family therapy aims to reduce high levels of expressed emotion (EE)

Family therapy is a psychological therapy carried out with all or some members of a family with a schizophrenic individual, with the aim of improving the quality of their communication and reducing the stress of living as a family.
Family therapy aims to reduce high levels of expressed emotion (EE).
Why is this?
This is because families with high levels of criticism, hostility and over-involvement mean that schizophrenia patients have more frequent relapses

Pharoah et al. (2010) identified a range of strategies family therapists use, including:
- The reduction of anger and guilt in family members
- Helping family members achieve a balance between caring for the individual with schizophrenia and maintaining their own lives

How do Pharoah et al. suggest these strategies work?
Pharoah et al. suggest that these strategies work by reducing levels of stress and expressed emotion, while increasing the chances of patients’ complying with medication

Example
For example, Lobban et al. (2013) analysed the results of 50 family therapy studies that had included an intervention to help relatives.
60% of these studies reported a significant positive impact on at least one outcome category for relatives, for example coping, relationship quality or problem-solving skills
