“…For instance, though a few researchers have expressed concerns that patients may not be able to provide accurate assessments (e.g., Kohler et al, 2010; Poole et al, 1997), utilizing self-report measures to obtain the patient’s perspective on their family environment could offer valuable information regarding the likelihood of current and future relapses. Knowing that patients hold negative perceptions of certain aspects of the family environment (i.e., lower perceptions of warmth and/or cohesion) could raise an early red flag for clinicians, given its association with symptomatology.…”

The family environment can either play a detrimental or a protective role in symptom severity for people with schizophrenia. The current study examined both patient and caregiver perspectives of the family environment in an ethnically diverse sample of 221 patients with schizophrenia. We hypothesized that environments characterized by high levels of perceived caregiver criticism, low perceived caregiver warmth, and low family cohesion (from both the patient and caregiver perspective) would predict greater symptom severity. As expected, results demonstrated that lower patient ratings of family cohesion and caregiver warmth were associated with greater symptom severity. However, once put into a hierarchical regression analysis, only patient ratings of family cohesion remained significant. Ethnic patterns were also examined and revealed that family cohesion may be particularly protective for ethnic minorities. Study implications are discussed.
