    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In this study we investigated whether, in conjunction with neuroleptics, a psychoeducational and cognitively oriented treatment for schizophrenic outpatients and their key-persons can improve the course of schizophrenic illness within a 2-year follow-up. This prospective randomized study covered a total of 191 schizophrenic patients (according to DSM-III-R) and comprised a psychoeducational training and cognitive psychotherapy for patients and counseling for their key persons in various combinations. Patients were examined before, immediately after and 2 years after the end of the intervention. Patients in the treatment groups reduced their overall psychopathology and their attention deficit. For patients receiving all three treatment conditions, there was a relevant preventive effect with regard to the rehospitalization rate appearing during the second year of the follow-up. We conclude that in the mid-term, a combination of psychoeducational and cognitively oriented therapy for patients and their keypersons can improve the course of schizophrenic illness.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Untersuchung beantwortet die Frage, ob eine ambulante psychoedukativ-psychotherapeutische Behandlung schizophrener Patienten und ihrer Angehörigen in Verbindung mit einer neuroleptischen Medikation in den 2 Jahren nach Abschluß der Therapie den Krankheitsverlauf der Patienten günstig beeinflussen kann. Es handelt sich um eine prospektive Studie im randomisierten Kontrollgruppendesign, in die 191 ambulant behandelte Schizophrene (DSM-III-R-Kriterien) aufgenommen wurden. Die Behandlungsbedingungen bestanden aus einem psychoedukativen Training und einer kognitiven Psychotherapie für die Patienten sowie aus einer Bezugspersonenberatung für deren Angehörige, jeweils in unterschiedlichen Kombinationen. Die Untersuchungen fanden vor Beginn, unmittelbar am Ende, sowie 12 und 24 Monate nach Therapieabschluß statt. In der Therapiegesamtgruppe verbesserten sich einzelne psychopathologische Parameter. Eine nominell statistisch signifikante Reduktion der Rehospitalisierungsrate fand sich bei der Patientengruppe mit allen 3 Behandlungsbedingungen. Der rezidivprophylaktische Effekt dieses komplexen psychoedukativ-psychotherapeutischen Behandlungsangebots entwickelte sich erst innerhalb des 2. Katamnesejahrs. Damit ist von einer mittelfristigen rezidivprophylaktischen Wirkung dieses komplexen Therapieangebots, das sowohl Patienten als auch Angehörige einbezieht, auszugehen.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Prelingually deaf persons usually gain only a rudimentary command of speech and prefer sign language to communicate within the deaf community without the handicap they experience in the hearing world. Maintaining social contact within this rather scattered community, however, requires higher degrees of social initiative and mobility. The aim of the present paper was to study the quantity and quality of social integration among a group of prelingually deaf schizophrenic patients (n = 49) and two control groups comprising prelingually deaf psychiatric but non-psychotic patients (n = 38) and hearing schizophrenic patients (n = 30), with account being taken of the special socialisation conditions of deaf persons and of their cultural standards and values. Method: Data were collected with the help of semi-structured interviews; with the deaf patients these were conducted in German sign language. Using rating procedures we assessed seven social support components, selected items from a history schedule for schizophrenia, and the probands' visual and verbal language skills. Results: The social networks of the two deaf groups were found to have larger gaps than those of the hearing schizophrenic patients, with significant differences being registered most clearly in the comparison between deaf schizophrenic and hearing schizophrenic patients. Comparison of the verbal and visual language skills of the two deaf groups revealed a substantial deficit among the deaf schizophrenics. Visual language skills were found to correlate more strongly than verbal language skills with the social support components. Conclusion: Prelingual deafness has a strong impact on the course of schizophrenia. In the long run, many of these patients belong to a “minority within a minority”.
