Two studies were conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of intensive social skills training in medicated schizophrenic inpatients at risk for relapse. In study 1, three patients were treated; two showed reductions in psychopathology and rehospitalization and improved social functioning 9 months following discharge. In study 2, social skills training was compared with holistic health treatment in 28 patients. Both groups showed reduced psychopathology 2 years after discharge; patients treated with social skills training had better social functioning, spent less time hospitalized, and had fewer symptomatic relapses. The results support the utility of social skills training as a psychosocial treatment for schizophrenia.
开展了两项研究，以评估强化社交技能训练对有复发风险的药物治疗的精神分裂症住院患者的临床疗效。在研究1中，对三名患者进行了治疗；两名患者在出院9个月后精神病理学症状减轻，再次住院情况减少，社会功能得到改善。在研究2中，对28名患者的社交技能训练与整体健康治疗进行了比较。两组患者在出院2年后精神病理学症状均有所减轻；接受社交技能训练的患者社会功能更好，住院时间更短，症状复发次数更少。结果支持社交技能训练作为精神分裂症心理社会治疗方法的效用。
