Suggested list of Top 20 papers on the psychological treatments of the schizophrenias and other psychoses

 

This list has been compiled by Chief psychiatrist Jan Olav Johannessen, psychiatrist Eivind Haga and medical director Gerd Ragna Bloch Thorsen at Rogaland Psychiatric Hospital, Stavanger, Norway (the site of the ISPS congress in 2000). It represents their present list of papers that they give to professionals training in psychological treatment of psychoses.

By letting ISPS publish this list, they challenge others to contribute their own list of Top 20 recommended papers, or add to this list (e-mail Antonia Svensson, ISPS Organiser on isps@isps.org).

 

With the growing number of papers on psychological treatments of schizophrenias and other psychoses it may be difficult to discover new papers, easy to forget good papers published earlier, and important to find out which papers may be most useful.
