Abstract:
A brief review of literature concerning educative methods of therapy of schizophrenics and their relatives will be used to discuss the similarities of these strategies, which differ in conception and intensity but are comparable considering their efficiency. A self-developed (eclectical) model of educative therapy and first experiences will be introduced. In view of the recessing character resp. the tendency towards chronicity in many cases of schizophrenia it seems, that the improvement of coping-abilities of the patients and their relatives dealing with the disease is a more promising goal concerning the long-term prognosis than focussing on "healing" or suppression of actual symptoms. In addition to information about the disease the individualized proceeding corresponding with the person's own experiences will be stressed. Only as far as the concept of disease is close to the one the patient has, it can become relevant for deeds.
