Abstract

Cognitive-behavioral therapy has been applied to a broad range of patient problems, mostly of the neurotic type, including depression, anxiety, phobia, and panic. The application of cognitive therapy to the more chronic and serious schizophrenic disorders has been a far more recent development (Perris, 1988, 1989). Because of the genetic and neurochemical elements of schizophrenia, “talking therapy” has not been seen as a prime component of therapy for this large and quite diverse group. It can, however, be a central part of a comprehensive treatment program including hospitalization during acute phases, aftercare living arrangements, outpatient medication, individual and group therapy, and vocational counseling.
