Abstract
We investigated the relationship between 9-month relapse of 40 out-pat ients with schizophrenia and expressed emotion (EE) evaluated by the F ive-Minute Speech Sample (FMSS). The results of this study suggest tha t the FMSS is suitable for use as a convenient instrument to measure E E, although it shows more false-positive results. Therefore borderline EE of the FMSS might have to be regarded as high EE.
