Cross-cultural issues in the course and treatment of schizophrenia.
In conclusion, we strongly share the belief recently expressed by Lefley that "the dialogue on clinical and social implications of research on expressed emotion may play a positive role" in the provision of care through a mental health service system that enlists, supports, and trains diverse intra and extra-familial caregivers in the many therapeutic tasks required for the care of the person and family afflicted with schizophrenia. We regard such a prescription as applicable in all social and cultural contexts.
