PMCID: PMC2589866  PMID: 4049905

Abstract

A conceptual framework is articulated which clarifies the importance of psychotherapy as part of the treatment armamentarium in working with individuals carrying schizophrenic diagnoses. The author looks at the goals and appropriate role relationships for understanding and treating schizophrenic individuals from multiple psychotherapeutic perspectives. The goal is to present an overview within which different psychotherapeutic approaches to schizophrenia can be understood and compared and then reconnected in actual practice.
