Psychotherapy for People Diagnosed with Schizophrenia

Meer over het boek

Focusing on psychotherapy techniques for schizophrenic patients, this book offers a detailed method tailored to their unique psychological structures. Dr. Lotterman explores how symptoms like hallucinations and delusions affect communication and thought processes, particularly through a phenomenon he terms deconceptualization. He emphasizes the need for modified therapeutic approaches that accommodate the diminished capacity for conceptual thinking in these patients, enabling more effective verbal psychotherapy despite their challenges in expressing inner experiences.
