During the past 25 years psychiatry has increased its understanding of the social context of schizophrenia in four major areas. Reasonable reliability can now be achieved in describing and recognizing many of the acute and chronic syndromes, so that comparability can be achieved between different research teams. Much is now known about the proximate social causes of symptoms and disabilities. The relationship between social and pharmacological treatments is now better understood. A more rational approach to the planning and prescription of services and to the counseling of patients and relatives can be made. Each of these lines of advance promises to lead to further progress in the future.
在过去25年里，精神病学在四个主要领域加深了对精神分裂症社会背景的理解。现在，在描述和识别许多急性和慢性综合征方面可以实现合理的可靠性，从而不同研究团队之间能够实现可比性。目前，对于症状和残疾的直接社会成因已经有了很多了解。现在对社会治疗和药物治疗之间的关系也有了更好的理解。在服务规划与处方以及患者和亲属咨询方面，可以采取更合理的方法。这些进展中的每一项都有望在未来带来进一步的进步。
