以对话模式进行的心理治疗依赖于听觉语言处理,涉及注意力、注意力和工作记忆。精神分裂症患者的所有这些能力都可能受到损害。我和我的两位同事于 1997 年 10 月在本杂志上发表的一些案例研究表明,通过在计算机屏幕上输入患者和治疗师之间的对话来显示口语单词的视觉表示,可以弥补其中的一些缺陷并增强沟通。 在汤顿(马萨诸塞州)州立医院,我们对 10 名被诊断为精神分裂症或分裂情感障碍的患者进行了一项初步研究,以了解这种方法的功效。该研究得到了马萨诸塞州心理健康部研究审查委员会的批准,所有参与者都提供了书面知情同意书。我们将患者分为实验组和对照组,每组由四名男性和一名女性组成。
Psychotherapy conducted in a conversational mode relies on auditory language processing, which involves concentration, attention, and working memory. All of these faculties may be compromised in people who have schizophrenia. Some case studies that two colleagues and I published in this journal in October 1997 showed that visual representation of spoken words, displayed by typing the conversation between patient and therapist on a computer screen, may compensate for some of these deficits and enhance communication.At Taunton (Mass.) State Hospital we conducted a pilot study of the efficacy of this approach with ten patients diagnosed as having schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. The study was approved by the research review committee of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health, and all participants provided written informed consent. We divided the patients into an experimental group and a control group, each comprising four men and one woman.
