Schiz Therapies

Biological and psychological treatments

QuestionAnswer
AO1 - Antipsychotic drugs Alleviate positive symptoms by acting on dopamine levels (which cause positive symptoms)
AO1 - Antipsychotic drugs Conventional - oldest type, reduce positive symptoms
AO1 - Antipsychotic drugs Atypical - newest, effective over both positive and negative symptoms
AO1 - Antipsychotic drugs Most begin with conventional and then work their way up, and often require a combination
AO2 - Antipsychotic drugs Davis et al - analysed 29 studies and found relapse in 55% of those using placebos, and only 19% in those on actual drugs, suggesting they are effective for preventing relapse
AO2 - Antipsychotic drugs Cost effective for patients and hospitals, allowing for people to lead relatively normal lives
AO2 - Antipsychotic drugs Side effects cause 50% of conventional drug patients to stop after the first year
AO3 - Antipsychotic drugs Although the study seems positive, Ross & Read say this suggests 45% did benefit from placebos, and a large percentage of 81% would have also benefited
AO3 - Antipsychotic drugs Causes other issues such as side effects, and regular blood tests needed to avoid blood disorders (not completely easy)
AO3 - Antipsychotic drugs Newer atypical drugs found more appropriate as they have fewer side effects so more people continue and see benefits
AO1 - CBT Delusions thought to result from faulty interpretations of events, so aims to challenge and modify these delusions
AO1 - CBT Steps: psychoeducation, normalising symptoms, cognitive and behavioural interventions, reducing comorbidity and relapse
AO1 - CBT Evidence-based, builds a therapeutic alliance and directly addresses key symptoms
AO2 - CBT Research strongly suggests it's effective for alleviating positive symptoms
AO2 - CBT Does not benefit everyone, as those not distressed by their symptoms may not have the motivation required
AO2 - CBT Kingdon & Turkington - normalisation may be more effective as avoids confusing terminology and reassures them by acting like their delusions may be good
AO3 - CBT Most studies conducted on patients using drugs, suggesting a mixture is most effective rather than each individually, but more costly and time consuming
AO3 - CBT Criticised for minimisation of client's problems and not dealing with the consequences
AO2 - CBT Chadwick & Lowe - reduced delusions in 10/12 cases
