Abstract
A method has been described to modify psychotherapy attitudinally and technically so that it is helpful with chronic psychotics--patients in a state hospital aftercare clinic. The method usually enables medications to be reduced and sometimes to be discontinued altogether. Two cases have been presented to demonstrate how the various new elements of the treatment method relate to each other, and to the rehabilitative services most chronic psychotics need.Keywords
