Long-stay hospitalized schizophrenic patients exhibit multiple social skills deficits. Doubts have been expressed about the effectiveness of social skills training for them, and also about the possibility of achieving generalization of skills. Part 2 of this article describes the setting-up of groups with such patients, the selection of group members and the content of the programmes.

Social Skills Deficits

Fifty-one out-patients with social skills deficits (two-thirds men) completed ten weekly sessions of 75-minute group treatment; 44 were followed up for a mean of 16 months. Random assignment was to one of three conditions: (1) Cohesive group discussion; (2) Modelling and role-rehearsal; or (3) Modelling and role-rehearsal+daily social homework.All three treatment conditions produced significant but incomplete improvement at the end of treatment and follow-up. The two role-rehearsal conditions were significantly superior to group discussion on several measures. Patients who completed daily social homework assignments did significantly better than patients who completed control homework. Alcohol and drug abuse patients usually dropped out. Schizophrenic patients in remission had lost their improvement at follow-up. Patients with other diagnoses retained their gains to 16-month follow-up.

Short And Long Term

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.
