The long term management of chronic ambulatory schizophrenic patients represents a problem in spite of the advent of neuroleptics. The most appropriate regimen seems to be group therapy combined with pharmacotherapy. In this paper we suggest that the group is more easily managed by co-therapists (usually a psychiatric nurse and a psychiatrist). This permits a transference dilution and helps the therapist to maintain a constant motivation.
