Abstract
This paper argues that the enhanced efficacy of current rehabilitation strategies compared to insight-oriented therapies for schizophrenic clients cannot be understood in terms of differences in technique alone. Rather, the relationship that develops between rehabilitation therapist and schizophrenic client may represent a potent therapeutic ingredient warranting further study. The concept of therapeutic alliance is examined as a means toward understanding the mechanisms underlying successful rehabilitation.Keywords
