Transformative education of schizophrenic patient through dialoging and emphatic writing of facilitator

Abstract

In nowadays schizophrenia is conceived of as a biologically determined disorder, and treatment primary is based on pharmacology (WFSBP recommendations for biological treatment of schizophrenia, 2005, 2006). Recent family-genetic studies have shown that a proportion of the relatives of schizophrenic patients shows minor, or indeed not so minor, variants of the biological abnormalities found in schizophrenic patients (Hemsley and Murray, 2000, quoted by Bertrando, 2006). Small biological changes in brain is a reason for psychic disorder, but these changes don‘t mean that person will be ill. These findings lead to advocating for psychological and social help for schizophrenic patients. A. Goštautas (2009) discusses biological-psychosocial model of conceiving of psychic disorder, created by S. Engel in 1970. It is clear that psychic disorder distorts the human relationship with family members, society and self. Recreation of healthy human relationship needs social help, based on therapeutic education of sick person as well as on social education of the society. Loneliness, distorted communication is a cause of hopelessness and suicide. Suicide is a major cause of death schizophrenic patients: 5-13 percent according all available data (Maurizio, Xavier and other, 2007). Scientific findings reveled that detachment from emotional experience is a cause of mental dissociation, the strategy of detachment of emotions separates patient from sense of self (Coggins, Fox, 2009), and this leads to negative point of view to the living world, and to fullness of hate to inner self (Hayne, 2003). H. Tamura (1999) notes that various forms of thinking disturbance in schizophrenia, including delusions and formal thought disorder, mean deficient knowledge of real world. [...]
