This article suggests that social network concepts and methods can provide a unifying framework for social research on schizophrenia. A selective review of the literature indicates that a social network perspective is not only consistent with a range of other research approaches and findings, but may help resolve some basic and persistent methodological and conceptual problems. A theoretical model is briefly described which attributes a critical role in the onset and recurrence of schizophrenia to social network processes. Some examples are given of the potential contribution of social network variables to research and therapy in schizophrenia.
本文表明，社会网络概念和方法可为精神分裂症的社会研究提供一个统一框架。对文献的选择性回顾表明，社会网络视角不仅与一系列其他研究方法和研究结果相一致，而且可能有助于解决一些基本且长期存在的方法学和概念性问题。简要描述了一个理论模型，该模型将社会网络过程在精神分裂症的发病和复发中归因于关键作用。给出了一些社会网络变量对精神分裂症研究和治疗潜在贡献的例子。
