| Abstract |
|
Cognitive behaviour therapy has been developed over the past two decades and is now recommended by most clinical guidelines
for schizophrenia internationally. Meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials have demonstrated its effectiveness in early and
treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and other specific indications, e.g. co-morbid substance misuse, aggressive behaviour, command
hallucinations. Treatment is based on engaging the patient in a therapeutic relationship, developing an agreed formulation and then
the use of a range of techniques for hallucinations, delusions and negative symptoms. A series of studies are on-going which will
provide more information about effective ways of working. (Korean J Schizophr Res 2010;13:15-19) |
