“…Several researchers have also empirically demonstrated that individuals who are unable to effectively manage their emotional responses to external or internal stresses, experience more severe and protracted periods of emotional distress that may evolve into diagnosable depression or anxiety disorders [5,9,19,20] . The stressvulnerability models also suggest that training in specific stress management techniques could provide benefits to patients with schizophrenia and affective disorders [21,22] . Different emotion-regulation strategies have been hypothesized to function as either risk factors or protective factors against a defined type of psychopathology.…”

AIM:To explore (1) intergroup differences in comfortable interpersonal distances (CIDs) and the use of coping strategies; (2) the association of these parameters with individual symptomatology; and (3) the interplay between CIDs and coping styles in patients with depression and schizophrenia. METHODS:The parameters of interest were assessed by means of standardized questionnaires: CID and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. Psychopathology was evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory and Positive and Negative Syndromes Scale. ANOVA, Pearson's correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to examine relationships among the variables. RESULTS:Compared with controls, depressed patients were more distanced from family members, significant others and self-images, whereas patients with schizophrenia were less distanced from neutral and threatrelated stimuli. Distancing from self-images was mostly associated with depression severity in depressed patients, whereas distancing from hostile and threat-related stimuli with the severity of psychotic and affective symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Both patient groups used more emotion-oriented than task-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping strategies. Self-distancing among patients with schizophrenia was positively associated with the use of the social diversion coping, implying social support seeking. CONCLUSION:Patients with depression and schizophrenia use different maladaptive emotion -regulation strategies to cope with their symptoms and related distress. Training in stress management might provide these patients with skills for more effective emotion regulation.© 2013 Baishideng Publishing Group Co., Limited.

The findings generally supported the hypotheses that the patient groups would display greater interpersonal distances from both positively and negatively valenced stimuli, and greater use of emotion-focused coping than controls. The findings suggest that patients with depression and schizophrenia use different maladaptive emotion-regulation BRIEF ARTICLE

“…Specifically, the patients receiving the 12-week relaxation program (based on reducing physiological stress by the use of autogenic training and muscular relaxation, improving physical resistance and cognitive and behavioral ability) had lower rates of posttreatment hospitalization compared to the control group over the 1-year follow-up period. 47 Also, other authors have demonstrated that CBT contributed to significantly greater improvements in terms of verbal learning, psychomotor speed, and global cognitive functioning. 24,25,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] Many of the studies that were reviewed have demonstrated the effectiveness of the CRT intervention.…”

Background: Schizophrenia is generally considered a chronic disorder characterized by psychotic symptoms and relatively stable neurocognitive and interpersonal deficits. Antipsychotic medication has proven beneficial in reducing psychotic symptoms, but is often not enough to treat cognitive or functional impairments. Residual cognitive impairments are barriers to a patient's full recovery from schizophrenia. Rehabilitation is an alternative and important approach which may be useful, and encompasses a variety of treatments including social skills training and psychoeducational and cognitive behavioral treatments. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of psychosocial treatments in schizophrenia, evaluating its effects in the short and long term, comparing psychosocial treatments with pharmacotherapy, and assessing the effects of treatment and the main indications for use in patients with schizophrenia. Methods: A careful MEDLINE ® , Excerpta Medica, PsycLIT ® , PsycINFO ® , and IndexMedicus search was performed to identify all papers and book chapters in English for the period 1970-2012. Results:Findings from the studies included in this qualitative analysis suggest that social skills therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family intervention therapy, cognitive remediation therapy, and other nonpharmacological therapeutic strategies may be beneficial for patients with significant functional and symptomatic impairments. Conclusion: Schizophrenic patients treated with nonpharmacological techniques have more rapid remission and relapse less frequently than patients treated only pharmacologically.
