LITERATURE REVIEW
Tai & Turkington (2009) focused on the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) for patients with schizophrenia. The case for using CBT is that it influences the thougth patterns and thinking styles, with CBT increasingly emphasizing on therapeutic approaches. CBT has developed over time touching more on cognitive approaches rather than behavioural models, the authors point out, that the meta-cognitive approaches are appropriate strategies to manage schizophrenia.
Lecomte et al (2003) conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of group CBT for individuals with schizophrenia- spectrum psychosis. The authors pointed out that group CBT was more likely to improving the coping strategies. The study results showed that it was necessary to take care of individual needs in the approach since personalization of the intervention lacks in group CBT. Participants in the study reported better results following use of group CBT
According to Dudley, Dixon, & Turkington (2005), managing phobias can improve the health outcome of patients with medication resistant schizophrenia. The authors assessed how participants overcame their fears and avoidance for patients with psychotic symptoms. Through relying on CBT, the intervention helped to deal with distress and improved coping, which led to positive symptom improvement.
Rüsch & Corrigan (2002), focused on the role of motivational interviewing in improving patient compliance for those with schizophrenia. The researchers also highlight on aspects of insight since this influence medical compliance. The article highlights on expressing empathy as being useful to increase insight and compliance.
Motivational interviewing is one of the approaches to improve interaction skills for schizophrenic patients who smoke cannabis (Smeerdijk et al., 2012). The authors highlighted on the positive effects of monitoring interviewing as the participants were observed after family intervention. The study results validate the use of motivational interviewing in changing behaviour among cannabis users with early signs of schizophrenia.
Drymalski & Campbell (2009) reviewed the effectiveness of motivational interviewing towards improving medication adherence among schizophrenic patients. In order for motivational interviewing to be effective, clients’ autonomy, collaboration with client and evaluation of client motivation should be assessed (Drymalski& Campbell, 2009). Even though, motivational interviewing has garnered interest, there are few studies which focus on efficacy of the intervention since most studies focus on a combination of interventions.
