title: Validation of the five minute speech sample in measuring expressed emotion.
abstract: The relationship of the Five Minute Speech Sample (FMSS) to the Camberwell Family Interview and its coding system were evaluated. The Camberwell Family Interview and the FMSS were administered to twenty-three relatives of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Overall, the results supported the utility of the FMSS and its coding system as a brief screening device for measuring expressed emotion.
