| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | A)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Families that routinely express their emotions to the exclusion of rational and reasonable interactions, create an environment that facilitates relapse by creating stress for the schizophrenic family member, who cannot deal with the constant emotion. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | B)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Families that express, rather than inhibit or suppress their emotions, actively model maladaptive behavior patterns that the schizophrenic picks up through observation; he or she then feels no restrictions upon expressing delusional beliefs and describing hallucinations. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | C)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Families in which the members are over-involved with each other, who express self-sacrificing attitudes toward the schizophrenic member but also appear cold, resentful, and rejecting, create an atmosphere that puts the schizophrenic family member at a greater risk for relapse. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | D)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Families that are high in expressed emotion tend to show abnormally high levels of affection and concern for one another, yet they show the schizophrenic family member practically no warmth or concern at all. |

| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | A)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Chlorpromazine helps schizophrenic people control the positive symptoms of their disorder by blocking the D1 and D2 receptors for dopamine. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | B)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Chlorpromazine affects more neurotransmitters than dopamine alone, which is one reason why it is thought to help reduce negative as well as positive symptoms of schizophrenia. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | C)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Chlorpromazine binds to different dopamine receptors than other neuroleptic drugs, and consequently has fewer side effects than most drug treatments for schizophrenia. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | D)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | Chlorpromazine should only be taken when a relapse is expected, or when symptoms are particularly bothersome; otherwise, neurological side effects can occur. |
