[The place of cognitive-behavioral therapy in schizophrenia: a review of the literature].
A review of the literature shows a growing interest in the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a chronic illness with important consequences touching different facets of a patient's life. During the different stages, several therapeutic strategies can be put in use in order to limit the gravity of the illness and its impact on the patient's quality of life. CBT is a part of these strategies and it can be used at all moment during the illness progression. The present paper reviews the different studies that evaluate the role and the place of this therapy in the management of a schizophrenic patient.
