We analyzed the potential influence of family relationships and history of psychiatric disorders on the presentation and course of early psychotic disorders. We recruited 110 subjects aged 9–17 years with a first psychotic episode and 98 matched healthy controls, and followed them for 1 year. Data were collected through clinical interviews and the Parent–Adolescent Communication Inventory. A family history of psychosis-related disorders was more common in patients' families, with a five-fold higher risk for psychoses related disorders than families of healthy controls. If we consider psychoses related disorder in first-degree relatives, the risk is even higher, rising to 15-fold. The families of patients with a first psychotic episode score themselves worse in communication than the families of healthy controls. More problems in communication at baseline correlated with a higher degree of psychopathology and a lower clinical improvement after 12 months of follow-up.
