- Psychological treatments for schizophrenia
- Family therapy
- Helps to improve the communication in a family (reducing effects of EE) and reduce stress in the family caused by caring for an individual with SZ
- Pharaoh et al found that family therapy is beneficial as the individual complies better with taking medication and risk factors for relapse are reduced.
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Talking therapy which helps a patient to make sense of their delusions and hallucinations.It identifies an individuals irrational thought and tries to change it. Cannot cure SZ but helps a patient cope better.
