Deficiencies in social skills are a major problem in the rehabilitation of schizophrenic patients. To adapt to community life, schizophrenic patients must meet certain minimum levels of socially acceptable behaviour. Over the last two decades, social skills training procedures have been used to systematically teach these behaviours. Procedures typically used in social skills training include instructions/coaching, modelling, behavioural rehearsal and role play, feedback and reinforcement, and homework assignments. These and other procedures are discussed in this review. In addition, the outcome of social skills training for the schizophrenic patient is discussed with reference to short- and long-term changes in social behaviour.

Data Sources: Sources of data obtained from Pubmed, Sciencedirect, and Ebsco Inclusion Criteria: 1) research studies using the RCT approach, 2) studies in schizophrenic patients in the adolescent-adult age range (17 years-80 years), 3) studies with social therapy interventions, skills training combined social cognitive therapy therapy treatments, both as independent interventions or in combination with other interventions Appraisal studies and synthesis methods: Appraisal studies use the critical appraisal skills program (CASP), and the synthesis method uses PICO modifications. Results: Social skill training (SST) has a significant influence in overcoming the improvement of socialization and social functions Conclusions and Implications of Results: Social skill training (SST) provides a significant influence in improving socialization and social functions so that it can be applied as an effort to overcome social damage.   Keyword: Social Skills Training (SST), Social skill training (SST), Computer and Manual.

Social Challenges

AbstractAlthough parent-assisted social skills interventions may reduce early social challenges in preschool-aged children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), limited research has explored whether intervention gains maintain several years after treatment. This study examined the durability of PEERS® for Preschoolers, a parent-mediated social skills training program for preschool-aged children with ASD and other social challenges. Twenty-nine parents reported on child and family outcomes 1–5 years following treatment. Results demonstrated maintenance of treatment gains on measures of ASD-related social impairments including social communication, social responsiveness, social motivation, and peer engagement. Post-treatment improvements in problem behaviors and parenting stress were not maintained at long-term follow-up. Implications of these results are discussed.

Correctional Rehabilitation

Alongside the view that “nothing works” in correctional rehabilitation, the behavioural technique of social skills training (S.S.T.) has been singled out for use with offenders. The present paper critically reviews empirical evidence regarding the long-term effects of S.S.T. on young offenders with a view to examining the conceptual and methodological issues linking S.S.T. with criminal behaviour. It is concluded that S.S.T. has been shown to have only very limited effects on the future criminal behaviour of young offenders. Several explanations for this finding are considered, and it is concluded that re-offending is an inadequate measure of the efficacy of S.S.T. programmes as reported in the extant literature. Following criticism of research designs which produce false expectations by including unrealistic measures, several proposals for future research are made.
