Open access
Kingdon, David, Turkington, Douglas, John, Carolyn·1994·British Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

Cognitive behavioural techniques used in schi.zopbrenia have generally been developed pragmatically in clinical settings.Despite the effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs in acute schizophrenia and in preventing relapse, many patients continue to have persistent positive and negative symptoms.Even drugs such as clozapine for resistant symptoms only appear effective in up to a third of those for whom they are indicated.Side-effects also present major problems.Poor compliance occurs in up to 75% with first episode schizophrenia (Kissling, 1992)and up to 50% of patients dischargedfrom hospital fail to take even 75% of medication prescribed (Buchanan, 1992).Controlled studies have been unable to demonstrate the efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy in schizophrenia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
