Abstract
Research on the interactions between drug and psychosocial interventions in the community management of schizophrenia is related to a stress/vulnerability conception of this disorder. Earlier findings that psychosocial treatments were not efficacious in the community management of schizophrenia are contrasted with promising recent data from psychosocial treatments aimed at reducing environmental stressors and promoting interpersonal competence. Family interventions and social skills training may contribute significantly to the clinical and social outcomes achieved by optimal pharmacotherapy.Keywords
