PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC SCHIZOPHRENIA

Beschreibung

Multiple difficulties have been identified with current psychotherapeutic models and treatments for schizophrenia. This book reviews the validity and the influence of aetiological theories and diagnosis of primary and secondary symptoms on psychotherapeutic models and treatments, and the relative efficacy of different psychotherapeutic treatments..In this study, a treatment programme was developed to evaluate the effects of ward Supportive Psychotherapy and individual Supportive Psychotherapy and Analytic Psychotherapy on positive symptoms, negative symptoms, general psychopathology, behavioural disturbances, client satisfaction with treatment, and psychosocial variables in a group of hospitalised participants with chronic schizophrenia. This study sought to address identified problems by assessing both primary and secondary symptoms, using a lengthy follow-up period, using therapists trained and experienced in the therapy under consideration, and including detailed descriptions of procedures for both therapies.
