[Psychotherapy of patients with schizophrenia. Study of the significance of group supervision].

A Danish centre contributed 12 cases to a Nordic multicentre investigation concerning the psychotherapy of psychoses. Patients admitted consecutively to the psychiatric hospital with the diagnoses of schizophrenia, schizophreniform psychosis or schizoaffective psychosis were offered psychotherapy at least once weekly for two years in addition to the other treatment modalities administered. In the Danish design, the process of supervision in relation to the processes of psychotherapy was investigated. In the present article, examples are presented illustrating how core psychotic mechanisms in the patients are reflected not only in process-facilitating but also in process inhibiting psychotherapeutic interventions. The data of the investigation are these interventions which are written down prospectively in the summaries of the supervision.

Psychiatric hospitalisations evaluated by patients.

For a number of years consumer satisfaction evaluation has been used as documentary evidence of the effect of treatment in psychiatric service systems. Especially in the USA consumer evaluations have been used in connection with the closure of the large central mental hospitals and the changeover to a community based psychiatric service system. The present investigation was conducted in a large psychiatric hospital and confirmed other such investigations that the patients are satisfied with the psychiatric treatment system. This result is in sharp contrast with society's general attitude to the same treatment system. In the present study we found a significant positive correlation between a positive assessment of hospitalisation and the relatives' contact with the staff on the ward. This is an important result in a period when spending cuts and reductions in staff might reduce time for contacts with relatives. Consumer evaluations such as the present one are necessary as a basis of future adjustments in the psychiatric treatment system.
