‘If, after exhaustive research and debate, we still don’t know exactly what causes schizophrenia, or if the disorder even exists as a separate condition, how can we possibly treat it in an effective way? In this podcast we will be looking at anti-psychotic drug treatments for schizophrenia, as well as psychological treatments of cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy and token economies, as well as interactionist treatments.
