Summary

The evolution of psychosocial treatments for schizophrenia has tracked larger historical trends in psychology, behavioral science, and mental health policy over more than a century. At times, the communication of ideas and influences of science, practice and policy has been reciprocal and mutually beneficial. At other times, there is a lack of such reciprocity, sometimes with unfortunate consequences. This chapter reviews and summarizes those ideas and influences in our post-modern era, and identifies key landmarks in the progression toward contemporary psychosocial treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
