Abstract

Until comparatively recently, the idea of using REBT or any kind of cognitive psychotherapy for schizophrenia sounded like an oxymoron.

The prevailing view in psychiatry and widely in the mental health field, was—and sometimes in routine practice still is—that psychological therapy for schizophrenia was inappropriate, even iatrogenic, in that there was a risk that it might cause as much harm as benefit.
