Stavroula Rakitzi
Private Practice, Greece
E
videnced based treatments are the treatments of choice for mental health disorders and schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a
chronic mental disorder with negative impact on the qual¬ity of life of patients with schizophrenia and their fami¬lies. The
main therapy for these people is the pharmaco¬therapy. Cognitive behavioural therapy and rehabilitation can be implemented
as an adjunct therapy to medication. Recovery is the main goal of all these interventions. The main principles of the biological
interventions with the latest updates, their importance for the participation of patients with schizophrenia in cognitive
behavioural therapy and rehabilitation and their contribution to the recovery of the patients will be presented. The main
principles of the cognitive behavioural therapy for individuals with schizophrenia of metacognitive therapy and the third wave
of behavioural therapies will be discussed. An example of a rehabilitation program (IPT) for patients with schizophrenia and
the Greek experience with IPT will be discussed. The importance of a long term combination of the above treatments will be
highlighted. The participants will have the opportunity to participate in role play.
