Background: Quality of family functioning and levels of parental expressed emotion (criticism, hostility, or emotional overinvolvement) are prospectively associated with the course and outcome of a range of childhood psychiatric disorders. Aims: This study examined family functioning, expressed emotion, and quality of life, in a clinical sample of 40 adolescents presenting with schizophrenia spectrum or affective psychotic disorders. Methods: Expressed emotion, family functioning, and quality of life were measured using the family questionnaire, family assessment device, and the KIDSCREEN 27, respectively. Results: Parents scored high on both parts of the family questionnaire, the critical comments and emotional over-involvement. Higher expressed emotion was associated with more emotional difficulties of both parents, especially depressive features. Economic difficulties of the family were found to be negatively associated with the adolescents’ psychological wellbeing. Conclusion: Overall, the study points out the need for appropriate family interventions, which will assist the caregivers in developing communication and problem-solving strategies and will contribute to the reduction of high levels of hostile or critical expressed emotion and emotional over-involvement within the family.

This study examined the family functioning of a cross-sectional sample of all approved and insured child-foster-care families in a mid-Atlantic state. The families studied functioned from well to excellent according to the Family Assessment Device. White and African American foster families showed relatively little difference in family functioning and both consistently scored better than did normative samples. Foster care's perceived Impact on the families was minimal and tended to be more positive than negative. The authors compare these results with other studies and suggest implications of their findings for practice.

The Family

As part of a larger study, we investigated the adaptation of the Family Assessment Device (FAD) to a Chinese population of hospitalized children (N = 313) compared to a sample of families with healthy children (N = 29) in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were performed to examine the FAD structure. The results supported the notion of cultural variations in measuring family functioning. Eight factors were found to explain 30.34% of the variance in family functioning. The Cronbach’s alphas of families with hospitalized children ranged from 0.29 to 0.74. Similar reliability scores were found in nonhospitalized families. This study indicates that the Chinese FAD has a different factor structure, reliabilities, and mean scores in several subscales compared to U.S. studies. The psychometric properties of the Chinese FAD may be influenced by the fact that the sample was focused on children rather than adults.
