Extract

The growing “family” of cognitive-behavioural interventions has made impressive strides in the management of schizophrenia over the last decade. This paper critically reviews the advances that have been made and examines some of the controversies and difficulties encountered in the application of this approach and suggests areas for future growth and research. Future developments in family interventions, early intervention, the management of hallucinations and the potential utility of a form of psychotherapy to treat secondary depression and prevent suicide, are covered in depth. Service structures to integrate these interventions, their timing and duration are considered. It is suggested that the marriage of case management and psychosocial interventions in particular is now overdue.
