There is considerable evidence that psychosocial treatments benefit younger adults with schizophrenia. However, no studies have been undertaken of such interventions for older patients with schizophrenia. This report describes the development of a novel integrated treatment combining cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and social skills training (SST). This intervention is designed to address the needs of older patients with schizophrenia by challenging beliefs common in this population that interfere with treatment and by providing repetitive practice of behaviors to improve retention and skill development. The authors provide two case reports and pilot data suggesting benefits of this approach.
有大量证据表明，心理社会治疗对患有精神分裂症的年轻成年人有益。然而，尚未对患有精神分裂症的老年患者进行此类干预措施的研究。本报告描述了一种结合认知行为疗法（CBT）和社交技能训练（SST）的新型综合治疗方法的开发。这种干预措施旨在通过挑战该人群中常见的、干扰治疗的信念，并通过提供行为的重复练习以提高记忆和技能发展，来满足患有精神分裂症的老年患者的需求。作者提供了两个病例报告和试点数据，表明了这种方法的益处。
