Abstract EN
Empirically validated psychosocial therapies for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia were described in the report of the Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT, 2009).
The PORT team identified eight psychosocial treatments: assertive community treatment, supported employment, cognitive behavioral therapy, family-based services, token economy, skills training, psychosocial interventions for alcohol and substance use disorders, and psychosocial interventions for weight management.
PORT listings of empirically validated psychosocial therapies provide a useful template for the design of effective recovery-oriented mental health care systems.
Unfortunately, surveys indicate that PORT listings have not been implemented in clinical settings.
Obstacles to the implementation of PORT psychosocial therapy listings and suggestions for changes needed to foster implementation are discussed.
Limitations of PORT therapy listings that are based on therapy outcome efficacy studies are discussed, and cross-cultural and course and outcome studies of correlates of recovery are summarized.
