“…The resemblances and differences between these syndromes need to be studied further before final conclusions can be made. It is noteworthythat schizophrenics are made worse by Sernyl (Luby et a!., 1959) yet they may be tolerant of external sensory deprivation; indeed, hallucinations are reduced in intensity in some patients (Harris, 1959).…”

The production of “model psychoses” in animals and man by a variety of chemical substances is of great interest. While the relationship between disturbances so produced and schizophrenia are problematical, these investigations may eventually throw light upon the causes of this condition. More important, at present, is the fact that the investigation of the way these drugs modify various aspects of normal psychological functioning is of great value in suggesting the physiological and biochemical processes that underlie these functions.

“…De acuerdo a estos procedimientos, investigadores y clínicos han tratado de incidir sobre la aparición de las alucinaciones a través de la reducción del input sensorial de los pacientes. Harris (1979) obtuvo resultados positivos en la reducción de las alucinaciones auditivas de pacientes esquizofrénicos sometién-doles a breves periodos de deprivación sensorial. Sin embargo, la debilidad metodológica del estudio y la evidencia en sentido contrario de otros estudios impide obtener conclusiones definitivas.…”

Los pacientes que sufren cualquier tipo de esquizofrenia presentan alteraciones importantes en sus funciones mentales superiores así como dificultades conductuales y sociales significativas.Desde distintos enfoques teóricos se ha intentado analizar dichas dificultades a la vez que encontrar la manera de orientar el abordaje terapéutico de estos pacientes.En este trabajo hemos repasado las aportaciones que, desde distintos modelos teó-ricos del ámbito de la Psicología, han supuesto un avance en las posibilidades terapéuticas de los sujetos afectos de esquizofrenia y, por tanto, una mejoría en su calidad de vida y en su integración social., siendo especialmente importante la exitencia de planes terapéuticos integradores como por ejemplo el modelo propuesto por Roder, Brenner, Hodel y Kienzle, (1996).Palabras clave: Esquizofrenia, tratamiento psicológico. Approach of psycbological treatment of schizophreniaTPatients with schizophrenia have some important failures in their superior mental functions and significative behavioral and social difficulties.Those difficulties have been analyzed from several theoretical frames. At the same time, therapeutic posibilities for these patients have been taken into account in order to find them out.In this work we have revised the detections that, from differents psycbological theories, have become an advance in the treatment alternatives for persons who suffer from schizophrenia and, so, an improvement in their lives and social integration. We have wranted to show the importance of an integral model like it has been proposed by Roder, Brenner, Hodel and Kienzle, 1996.

“…However, he ignores the possibility of ordering the environment so as to reduce the percepts. The stimuli problem also involves studies in sensory deprivation and schizophrenia (Azima & Cramer, 1956;Harris, 1959;Smith et al 1961). There is abundant literature on sensory deprivation being similar in symptomotology to that of schizophrenia.…”
