Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The American Psychiatric Association's (APA) schizophrenia treatment guidelines published in 2004 recommend psychosocial treatment approaches to enhance social and vocational adjustment. This includes individual and group therapy, social skills training, cognitive remediation, and vocational rehabilitation. The APA guidelines do not endorse pre-frontal lobotomies or minor tranquillizer medication treatment to control positive symptoms. Family psychoeducation is also recommended as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy and individual therapy, as it can improve treatment adherence and communication between family members, but blaming families is not endorsed.
