Više od 50 % shizofrenih bolesnika tvrdi da je promjena na bolje izražena u 6 aspekata obiteljskih interpersonalnih odnosa, a za još tri to isto tvrdi njih 50 %. Članovi obitelji su veći optimisti: više od 50 % njih procjenjuje da je promjena na bolje izražena u 9 od 10 segmenata.

The author is considering the effectiveness evaluation of the systemic oriented family therapy. The evaluation of the effects is performed by 30 schizophrenic patients and their relevant family members who had passed the family therapy in the course of schizophrenic patient hospitalization (extended hospital therapeutic community) and one year after the discharge form hospital (outpatient extended therapeutic community).

For these circumstances the author had formed a five level self - evaluation scale which registers ten concrete aspects of the interpersonal family reality. More than 50 percents of schizophrenic patients declared that an improvement was expressed in 6 aspects of the interpersonal family relations, and for 3 more aspects the same opinion vas declared in the other 50 percents. Members of the families were more optimistic; more than 50 percents declared that an improvement was expressed in 9 out of 10 aspects.

This difference between the valuation of the patients and the valuation of the members of their families is partly further analyzed.
