Abstract

Historical and more recent descriptions of mental illness emphasise the prominent nature of communicative difficulties in persons with these diagnoses (Sims 1995) and a large part of psychiatric intervention is verbally-mediated. Within this study, a theoretically-driven therapy programme addressed the communication needs of two persons with schizophrenia. Significant improvements were demonstrated using valid and reliable outcome measures.
