For a LONG time, mental health professionals viewed schizophrenia as a disorder that did not respond to any treatment other than medication. In recent decades, this has proven to be untrue.
In fact, people with schizophrenia can benefit from various psychosocial therapies, such as social skills training, symbolic economics programs, psychoeducation, and more. This book, based on new empirical data, presents one of the latest psychosocial interventions for schizophrenia: cognitive therapy.
Cognitive therapy allows the therapist to organize a personalized therapeutic framework and focus on the symptoms that hinder the daily lives of individuals with schizophrenia. The book debunks the notion that people with schizophrenia do not communicate easily while suggesting methods for enhancing initiative, preventing relapse, and more.
Details are provided not only on the therapy interventions but also on the conceptual foundations upon which these interventions are based. With the tools offered in this book, the therapist will be able to develop a stable, beneficial relationship with the client, helping them reduce their anxiety and become more functional.
