Audiotape playback as a technique in the treatment of schizophrenic patients
SL Satel and WH Sledge
Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn.
The authors report on the use of playing back audiotaped portions of the
speech of two schizophrenic patients during psychotherapy. They believe
that this audiotape replay was instrumental in organizing the patients'
thoughts and spoken communications and that it might also have facilitated
the patients' participation in psychotherapy. The usefulness of this
strategy is illustrated with clinical material.
