- Interactionist approach to treating schizophrenia. AO3
- HOGARTY ET AL (1986)
- medication only= 40% relapse rate medication + social skills training=20% medication + family therapy =20% all three = 0%
- Patients followed up over 1 year period, relapse rates measured
- Supports the interactionist approach because as the number of treatments increases, first year relapse rates decrease.
- Better at preventing relapse than single treatments alone
- RELAPSE
- A follow up study (after 2 years) suggested combined treatment only DELAYED relapse rather than prevented it
- Not effective in the long term
- MORRISON & TURKINGTON (2014)
- Drug treatment + CBT = better rates of symptom reduction and relapse than drugs/CBT alone
- Demonstrates effectiveness of an interactionist treatment
- COMBINATIONS ALLOW FOCUS ON DIFFERENT THINGS
- Biological therapies (antipsychotics) address disordered thinking, Behavioural therapies address teaching functional social skills.
- Without the biological therapies, patients would be too disordered for behavioural therapies to be effective
- VALUE FOR MONEY
- Initially more expensive
- More effective, outweighs cost. Not likely to need treatment in the future
- Cost effective in the long term
- NEGATIVE EFFECTS
- Combined treatments can have negative effects
- Eg: Patients doing CBT and and drug therapy may see the side effects of their drugs in a delusional manner
- Increases mistrust and decreases likelihood of patients complying to their medication regime- decreases effectiveness
- HOGARTY ET AL (1986)
