A recent note by Karon and VandenBos (1) on psychotherapy of schizophrenic patients claims to have demonstrated that additional psychotherapy produced significantly better results than the usual hospital treatment; and that outcome depended strikingly on an interaction between the use of drugs and the experience of the therapist. In presenting their findings as a challenge to a report by May and Tuma, they fail to point out that their results run contrary also to the general trend in other studies of psychotherapy and schizophrenia. These indicate that, even when given by experienced therapists, psychotherapy for hospitalized schizophrenic patients is, in general, relatively ineffective, while drug therapy enhances results regardless of the therapist's experience.
