Question

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder where the sufferer can have delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, an inability to self-motivate, poor eye contact, etc. Think about the following approaches: Behaviorism, Humanism, and Neurobiology. Which of the following do you think would work best with Schizophrenics? Why? Which do you think would not be useful at all in treating Schizophrenics? Why? Minimum of 2 – 3 sentences (I need someone's personal opinion)

Answer 1

I feel Schizophrenia could be best treated with behaviourism.By this therapy the harmful behaviour due to psychological trauma of the patient could be avoided. Neurobiology would in no way be of help to these patients.This problem cannot be solved with a research on anatomy as it is a problem of mind. Counselling can help a lot.
