What will the psychotherapy goals be for a newly diagnosed 25 yr old male schizophrenia. He has an excellent family support structure with whom he lives. Only major symptom auditory hallucinations (commenting voices)
and some social anxiety. Has friends and dates and is an A student in engineering graduate school. The voices are fairly regular. Treatment will start next week and will probably be Abilify. How can the family help?
Can the family augment the psychotherapy? Any experience with purchasing Abilify offshore and splitting to save money or other ideas?
