Do verbal interactions between psychiatric patients and family members covary with the diagnosis of the patient? This study compared relatives (usually parents) of schizophrenic (n = 42) and bipolar (n = 22) patients on affective style (AS) or emotional-verbal behavior toward patients in family interaction. Patients were compared on coping style or verbal interactional behavior toward relatives. Relatives of schizophrenic patients made more negative AS (particularly intrusive) statements to patients than relatives of bipolar patients. Schizophrenic patients made fewer supportive statements and more self-denigrating statements to relatives than bipolar patients. Among families of bipolar patients, negative AS in relatives was associated with oppositional, "refusing" styles in patients. Implications for psychosocial interventions with these disorders are discussed.
