Psychotherapy
 Psychotherapy,
which sometimes is referred to as "talk therapy" may help
persons with schizophrenia. It may be performed on an individual
bases, or as group therapy.
In individual therapy a doctor, psychologist
or other health professional talks with the person about their symptoms,
and discusses alternative ways of thinking about and coping with
them.
Group therapy may help some patients to get
along with others, and it may be an important step in regaining
social communication skills. However, since not everyone is comfortable
in groups, this type of therapy is not suitable for all patients.
