Abstract
In this second paper on social skills training for psychiatric patients the author critically reviews the controlled clinical outcome studies of social skills training in a number of psychiatric populations: mentally retarded persons, depressed patients, psychiatric outpatients, and psychiatric inpatients. He points out that more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of social skills training, especially for patients with debilitating chronic mental illness.Keywords
