This study compared the effects of social-skills training, remedial drama and group discussion on the conversation skills of chronic schizophrenic patients. After 16 one-hour treatment sessions only the social-skills training resulted in significant improvement, which was maintained at two-month follow-up. Although there was little evidence to support generalisation, the results are seen as indicating the usefulness of social-skills training in improving the performance level of chronic schizophrenic inpatients and in maintaining their social functioning. The implications for future rehabilitation practice are discussed.
本研究比较了社交技能训练、补救性戏剧疗法和小组讨论对慢性精神分裂症患者对话技能的影响。经过16次为时1小时的治疗课程后，只有社交技能训练带来了显著改善，且这种改善在两个月的随访中得以维持。尽管几乎没有证据支持这种改善具有普遍性，但研究结果被视为表明社交技能训练在提高慢性精神分裂症住院患者的表现水平及维持其社会功能方面是有用的。文中还讨论了这些结果对未来康复实践的启示。
