Abstract: The authors review the psychotherapy interventions used most in psychotic patients, stressing, firstly, those conducted in the early phases of the disease, the most classical interventions during periods of stability, and, finally interventions related with psychosocial rehabilitation of the psychotic patient. Within the early phases of the disease, a distinction is made between high-risk subjects and those who have already had a first psychotic episode. The efficacy and the current intervention model in each of the most conventional psychotherapies: dynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family, and group therapies, are described. Special emphasis is placed on adaptation to the patient’s needs in each intervention model. Finally, the psychosocial interventions that have demonstrated their efficacy are indicated, that is to say, assertive community therapy, social skills training and supported employment programs.
