Abstract

The question of how research on families with members that have psychiatric disorders has changed over time was examined by dividing family studies of this nature into three broad periods. In the first period, the 1940s through the 1960s, studies that hypothesized a familial etiology were conducted in Europe and the U.S.A. Case studies during this period supported the hypothesis that the behavior of family members and family relationships could have a negative effect on individuals with psychiatric disorders. Research conducted in the second period, from the 1970s through the 1980s, consisted of studies on expressed emotion by examining how emotional remarks by family members affected relapses in patients with schizophrenia who had been discharged. For the third period, studies using stress coping models were employed to examine the experiences of families in Europe and the U.S. in the 1990s. These studies tested the hypothesis that stressors affect family experiences which in turn determines the well-being of the family as it copes in its own way with such stressors and other factors.
