  Introduction: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV diagnostic category “Psychotic disorder not otherwise specified” (PNOS) is seldom investigated, and we lack knowledge about longterm outcomes. We examined long-term symptom severity, global functioning, remission/recovery rates, and diagnostic stability after the first treatment for PNOS. Methods: Participants with first-treatment PNOS (n = 32) were reassessed with structured interviews after 7 to 10 years. The sample also included narrow schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD, n = 94) and psychotic bipolar disorders (PBD, n = 54). Symptomatic remission was defined based on the Remission in Schizophrenia Working Group criteria. Clinical recovery was defined as meeting the criteria for symptomatic remission and having adequate functioning for the last 12 months. Results: Participants with baseline PNOS or PBD had lower symptom severity and better global functioning at follow-up than those with SSD. More participants with PNOS and PBD were in symptomatic remission and clinical recovery compared to participants with SSD. Seventeen (53%) PNOS participants retained the diagnosis, while 15 participants were diagnosed with either SSD (22%), affective disorders (19%), or substanceinduced psychotic disorders (6%). Those rediagnosed with SSD did not differ from the other PNOS participants regarding baseline clinical characteristics. Conclusions: Long-term outcomes are more favorable in PNOS and PBD than in SSD. Our findings confirm diagnostic instability but also stability for a subgroup of participants with PNOS. However, it is challenging to predict diagnostic outcomes of PNOS based on clinical characteristics at first treatment.

  Objectives: Group interventions are recommended to prevent psychological difficulties in siblings of children with a disability. However, emotional communication and support in such groups have not previously been described or evaluated. This article describes two studies to provide such knowledge. Methods: Study 1 examined communication patterns following expressions of negative emotions in counseling groups for siblings of children with a disability. We videotaped and transcribed communication patterns in 17 counseling group sessions for siblings of children with a disability aged 11–16 years. We applied content analysis to identify communication patterns following expressions of negative emotion(s). Study 2 examined youth- and clinician-evaluated supportiveness of the four most frequent patterns from Study 1. Reenacted video examples of the patterns were shown to 136 school pupils aged 11–16 years and 68 clinicians, who rated each pattern for supportiveness using visual analog scales. Results: In Study 1, the communication was found to be either child-centered or adult-centered. Frequent adult-centered communication patterns were interviewing, informing, or avoiding. Child-centered communication often followed a consenting pattern, in which other children expressed having similar experiences. The four patterns were all rated low to medium on support by youths and clinicians in Study 2. Youths found the avoiding pattern to be more supportive than clinicians, and girls and older youths differed from boys and younger youths in their evaluation of the consenting pattern. Conclusions: The results of the two studies highlight the importance of training group leaders in child-centered communication and the ability to facilitate communication patterns experienced as supportive by youths.
