Beyond Symptom Suppression: Improving Long-Term Outcomes of Schizophrenia

By Gap and Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry

This report from the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry uses the results of longitudinal investigations in schizophrenia to reframe popular notions about course, treatment, and management. Based on the premise that traditional approaches to the treatment of schizophrenia have overemphasized the suppression of acute, disruptive symptoms, this report offers hope for the long-term adjustment potential of schizophrenia patients in its presentation of a new, multidimensional treatment approach.
