Description
There has been a growing trend in psychiatry to emphasize pharmacological approaches in the treatment of schizophrenia. Despite the considerable influence of psychosocial factors on the course of the disorder, relatively little emphasis has been placed on psychosocial treatment approaches. The aim of the book is to provide authoritative information on a broad spectrum of treatment approaches to improve role functioning and coping skills. Taking into account results of long-term outcome studies carried out in recent years, this book brings together a diversity of controlled research efforts conducted by leading experts in their specific fields. Considering that the major disability attributed to this illness is impairment in social and vocational role functioning, the authors substantiate with efficacious data their theory that antipsychotic medication alone is insufficient in the treatment of patients.
