Book excerpt: Research on the nature and treatment of schizophrenia has undergone a revival and metamorphosis in the last decade. For a long while, the field had been moribund, weighed down by an unreliable diagnostic system, pessi mism about the possibility of new discoveries, and a dearth of research funds. A number of factors have seemingly coalesced to change this situa tion, with the result that the field is now alive with excitement and optimism. Four factors seem to have played important roles in the resurgence of interest. First, prior to the publication of DSM-III in 1980 there was no reliable diagnostic system for the disorder. Previous definitions were overly general and imprecise. Consequently, the label "schizophrenia" applied to a very heterogeneous group of severely disturhed patients. It was rarely clear whether two investigators had studied comparable samples, making it im possible to determine if (flew findings were generalizahle or if failures to replicate were due to the unreliahility of the results or the fact that the investigators had studied different disorders. DSM-III has not totally re solved this problem, but it has allowed scientists to reliably identify a much more homogeneous group. As a result, it is now possible to integrate the results of different studies, making it much more likely that we can make important advances. The second important factor was the development of new technologies that promised to help uncover the nature and etiology of the disorder.
Download or read book The Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia written by John S. Strauss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is dedicated to Theodore Lidz and Ruth W. Lidz, as was the conference on the Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia held on April 9 and 10, 1979, at which the materials here published were presented. This 1979 sym posium replicated in some respects the one held at Yale University thirty years earlier, at a time when psychotherapy with schizophrenic patients was viewed with much optimism and enthusiasm. Ruth and Ted Lidz contributed to this earlier symposium also, emphasizing in their paper the intense mother-patient bond as a therapeutic issue. Since then, considerable strides have been made in the treatment of schizophrenic patients. The introduction of psychopharmacologic agents, the development of family therapy, and more sophisticated methods in com munity-based care for such patients, all have had important impacts. Psychotherapy with schizophrenics as such has remained a rather limited practice, partly because it is difficult and demanding of therapists' time and personal investment, and partly because documenting its effectiveness on a statistically or epidemiologically valid plane has eluded us.

Book excerpt: Schizophrenia: Science and Practice brings together the work of many of today's most distinguished authorities in psychiatry. From diverse perspectives, these specialists review what is presently known--and unknown--about schizophrenia. The conceptual underpinnings of the diagnosis of schizophrenic illness, recent elaborations of psychosocial and developmental theories, current genetic and biochemical research, and traditional as well as newer treatment approaches are among the topics discussed in this unusually clear and lively account. How effective are contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches to schizophrenia? What drug therapies are being used or proposed, and why? What about the treatment milieu and the difficult strategic questions surrounding the recent movement toward the "deinstitutionalization" of schizophrenic patients? Ultimately, should schizophrenia be defined as a toxic illness or as a way of life? In attempting to answer these and other questions, Dr. Shershow is joined by contributors Irwin Savodnik, Seymour Kety, Theodore Udz, Gerald Klerman, Ian Creese, Solomon Snyder, Leo Hollister, Jonathan Borus, Daniel Schwartz, and Loren Mosher, among others. All the issues confronting psychiatry as a self-conscious discipline within contemporary medicine converge on the problem of schizophrenia. The important hope Schizophrenia: Science and Practice raises is that a fruitful pluralism among the variety of approaches to schizophrehia, and to psychiatric problems in general, can be sustained.

Book excerpt: The writings and activities of Bruno Bettelheim have forever changed perceptions of the treatment of children in residential care. His concern with milieu, or the meaning of the environment for mental health, has contributed not only to the psychoanalytic treatment of troubled children and adolescents, but also to a theory of person and environment, fostering morale and enhanced personal integration. His emphasis on the importance of the hour by hour management of children's daily living experiences and his attribution of a critical therapeutic role to the caretaker have profoundly influenced treatment as well as the recruitment and training of child care counselors and caretakers. Milieu Therapy: Significant Issues and Innovative Applications, a tribute to Bettelheim, illuminates continuing efforts to further understanding of the caring process and its impact upon healing and repair measures for disturbed children. The contributing authors of Milieu Therapy have themselves been influenced by the work of Bettelheim. In this book they: distill and clarify Bettelheim's clinical legacy survey a select group of his political and clinical articles describe how communication can be fostered between residents and staff through the architectural design of the residence, holiday celebrations, and students'choices of reading material address management issues posed by youngsters with symptoms of character disorder and provide a description and examples of a three level style of response to these children discuss the impact of the milieu of college residence on the lives of students and the problems and opportunities of group life According to D. Patrick Zimmerman, one of the contributors, " . . . [Bettelheim] was instrumental in promoting a lasting concern about discovering the best treatment methods possible for emotionally disturbed children. . . . He taught many of us . . . to deeply care and think about the fate of even the most severely impaired children. His arguments . . . continue to stimulate us to unashamedly examine ourselves in our work with troubled youth." Professionals who work with children and are interested in the impact and influence of Bruno Bettelheim and his work will find a wealth of knowledge in Milieu Therapy: Significant Issues and Innovative Applications.
