Abstract

Schizophrenia is one of the most debilitating adult mental illnesses. More psychiatric hospital beds are occupied by persons with schizophrenia than any other psychiatric disorder, and the illness accounts for the majority of admissions to psychiatric hospitals. Over the past 40 years, significant gains have been made in both the pharmacological and psychosocial treatment of schizophrenia. Despite these gains, the effects of the illness continue to be pervasive and chronic. The limited efficacy of currently available treatments for schizophrenia is illustrated by the high rate of relapse for outpatients living in the community and the poor social functioning of most patients.
