Some previous studies of individual and group psychotherapy in schizophrenia are presented. A team consisting of a main therapist (usually a specially trained psychologist or social-worker), who works closely with a group leader (usually a specially trained mental nurse) was developed. Together they carried out and monitored the integrated treatment programme in hospital. This programme included intensive psychotherapy, social training, ADL training and a system for evaluation of the treatment process when combined with neuroleptics. Some practical points concerning individual and group psychotherapy with schizophrenics during the first 3 months in hospital are presented. This treatment has been carried out on a routine basis for the last 7 years.
