    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Psychology
    • Psychiatry
    • Behavioral Therapy

    Background:

    • Elevated anxiety and poor coping skills are implicated in schizophrenia.
    • Behavioral stress management is effective for nonpsychotic individuals, but research in schizophrenia is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of Anxiety Management Training (AMT) and Applied Relaxation (R) for schizophrenic outpatients.
    • To assess the impact of these interventions on generalized anxiety and related behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized controlled trial comparing AMT and R groups with a Wait-List (WL) control group.
    • Outpatients with schizophrenia received 6 weeks of either AMT or R.
    • Standardized measures assessed generalized anxiety levels; therapists reported on non-targeted behaviors.

    Main Results:

    • Both AMT and R groups showed significant reductions in generalized anxiety compared to the WL group.
    • Therapists reported significant positive changes in non-targeted behaviors for participants in the intervention groups.
    • The findings suggest these anxiety management techniques are effective in this population.

    Conclusions:

    • Short-term anxiety management interventions, such as AMT and R, are beneficial for schizophrenic patients.
    • These techniques can improve anxiety coping skills and related behaviors in individuals with schizophrenia.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects and broader applications of these interventions.
