Cognitive behavioural therapy for risk management in schizophrenia.
This article proposes that cognitive behavioural therapy--as recommended by the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (2002)--can be used to form part of a risk management strategy for people diagnosed with schizophrenia. This may be a more effective and acceptable intervention because of its collaborative nature. The article includes case studies from practice to illustrate strategies that can be used.
