Abstract

Schizophrenia is a complex and chronic mental health condition that affects a significant number of individuals across the globe. This disorder can have a profound impact on those who suffer from it, as well as their families and communities. Characterized by a range of symptoms that may include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and reduced social engagement, schizophrenia can be a challenging condition to manage. Despite the difficulties it presents, with proper treatment and support, many people with schizophrenia can lead fulfilling lives. Understanding and awareness of this condition are crucial in fostering a supportive environment for those affected and advancing research towards more effective treatments and potential cures. Psychological treatment is considered a limited side-effect therapy compared to medication. Psychological treatment can be divided into several therapies. Those therapies have different effects and various aspects of improvement. This literature review attempts to show the function of family therapy, group therapy, social skills training, and vocational rehabilitation. A total of 17 empirical researches are included in this literature review. Through the review of previous studies, it could be proposed that the improvement of symptoms, quality of life and social functioning are different for each therapy.
