Making video-taped teaching materials for families having relatives with schizophrenia

在查阅了有关精神分裂症家庭心理教育的文献和资料后，我们得出结论，精神分裂症的病因、症状、治疗方式(躯体和心理)以及社区资源等类别应纳入新开发的录像带教材中。我们决定制作五卷，标题为《对精神分裂症的理解》。第一卷，《精神分裂症的症状》，由患者就他们的症状经历和应对技能以及关于阳性和阴性症状的专业解释这一主题进行小组讨论。第二卷《精神分裂症的病因学》包括亲属的小组讨论，解释疾病的病因和专业解释。后者包括应激-脆弱性理论和多巴胺假说。我们预计在2001年4月底完成其他三卷的制作，所有卷都将上市。我们使用了在精神病学家和其他心理健康专业人士的一些公开讲座中已经制作的两本书。到目前为止，从服务员那里得到了一些积极的反馈。我们期待家庭心理教育计划的扩展，这不仅有助于预防精神分裂症的复发，而且有助于改善患者和亲属的心理健康。

After reviewing references and materials concerning family psychoeducation of schizophrenia, we concluded that the categories such as etiology, symptoms, treatment modalities (somatic and psychosocial), and community resources should be included in newly developed video-taped teaching materials. We decided to make five volumes titled, 'For Understanding of Schizophrenia.'The first volume, 'Symptoms of Schizophrenia' is consisted of group talk by the patients on the topic of their symptom experience and coping skills and professional explanation about positive and negative symptoms. Typical symptoms are presented with elaborated illustrations.The second volume, 'Etiology of Schizophrenia' is consisted of group talk by the relatives interpreting the etiology of the illness and professional explanations.The latter includes stress-vulnerability theory and dopamine hypothesis.We expect to finish making the other three volumes by the end of April, 2001 and all the volumes will be on the market. We used the two volumes already made in some public lectures for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. So far there were some positive feedbacks from the attendants. We look forward to the extension of programs for family psychoeducation, which helps not only to prevent relapses of schizophrenia but also to improve mental health of patients and relatives.
