Research on the psychosocial treatment of schizophrenia: a summary report
Abstract
The authors present an overview of research on psychosocial treatments for schizophrenia. Findings from studies of five therapeutic approaches- -individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, family therapy, milieu therapy, and community support systems--are discussed in detail. The usefulness of each type of therapy is critically assessed on the basis of available data from controlled outcome studies. The authors make recommendations regarding high-priority areas to be addressed in future studies of psychosocial treatment.
