Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

They are emotionally over-involved in Esther's life and at the same time excessively
critical of her. Expressed emotion would be especially intense if Esther's parents believe
that Esther can control her schizophrenic symptoms and chooses not to. Conflict is likely
to be two-way between Esther and her parents.
