- Description:
- This single system study delineates the use of CBT strategies, describes the process of treatment and presents results from the single subject ABA design that examined the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral treatment with schizophrenia. Standardized measures of psychosocial functioning and attainment of treatment goals were used to assess change over the course of eighteen months of treatment and followup. Analysis of data indicated that the client experienced considerable improvement in psychosocial functioning and attainment of treatment goals. Treatment issues regrading the application of cognitive-behavioral methods to schizophrenic individuals and suggestions for future social work research and practice are discussed.
