TL;DR
Current data do not support the use of psychodynamic psychotherapy techniques for hospitalised people with schizophrenia, and the psychodynamic approach may be more acceptable to people than a more cognitive reality-adaptive therapy.
Abstract
Current data do not support the use of psychodynamic psychotherapy techniques for hospitalised people with schizophrenia. If psychoanalytic therapy is being used for people with schizophrenia there is an urgent need for trials.
