Impact of self-consciousness of patients with schizophrenia on their family adjustment

Abstract

Treatment and rehabilitation measures for schizophrenia are not limited to the elimination of psychotic conditions, but also have as their goal the possible social re-adaptation of patients, which includes both professional and labor activity, and social adaptation. The family as the primary social group in which an individual forms and learns about himself as a person and which mediates his relations with society, forms a special psychological environment with maximum closeness of communication. Family relations therefore necessarily affect the course of the disease. Full social compensation of the mental defect is not achieved without active participation of the patient's consciousness and without a critical attitude toward the disease. Without taking into account self-consciousness it is impossible to study interpersonal relations, including family relations.
