Schiz studies Flashcards
thornley et al
found that in 1121 ps, chlorpromazine was associated with better overall functioning and reduced symptoms compared to placebos
beng choo ho
found that AP drugs can lead to the loss of brain tissue which can worsen sz symptoms ( cause and effect of neural correlates)
fromm reichman
schizophrenogenic mother
mother is cold, rejecting and controlling
family has lots of tension which leads to distrust and leads to paranoid delusions
glowacki
identified 7 high quality stuides which examined the use of TE and all showed a reduction in negative symptoms
matson et al
3 categories of behaviours tackled by TE
personal care, condition related behaviour, social behaviour
improved quality of life in hospital and normalises behaviours used on the outside
houston et al
found that childhood sexual abuse is a major influence on underlying vulnerability to sz and cannabis use (DS)
diathesis is a lot more complex than just a schizogene
bagnall
meta analysis on 232 comparing clozapine (atypical) to other drugs and placebos and found that Cz was the most effective even with patients who were previously treatment resistant
had the least side effects
less people dropped out the study
meehl
believed diathesis was entirely genetic, result of schizogene
if that wasnt present then no amount of stress could lead to sz
jahur et al
reviewed studies of CBT for Sz patients found significant effects on pos + neg symptoms including reduction in severity and frequency of auditory hallucinations
mcfarlane
concluded that family therapy was one of the most consistently effectice treatments for sz
relapse rates reduced by 50-60%
allyon + azrin
trialed TE in a ward of women with Sz and ps would receive tokens for certain good behaviours which could be swapped for ward privelages
found that the number of tasks completed increased
monchief
chemical cosh- ethical argument that AP drugs are used to calm sz patients down in hospitals so that they are easier to deal with
read et al
proposed a neurodevelopmental model of DS which said that early trauma alters the developing brain- HPA system becomes overreactive
HPA- hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis- central stressor system
bateson et al
double bind theory
child fears they are doing something wrong but don’t what it actually is
punished by withdrawal of love
read et al
found that adults with sz were more likely to insecure attachments
69% men and 59% women have history of sexual/physical abuse
