According to Beck, which treatment modality seems least used in treating clients diagnosed with schizophrenia?

• A. Individual therapy.
• B. Group therapy.
• C. Family therapy.
• D. Couples therapy.

Answer: (A)

Beck emphasizes working within the person’s social world to support recovery in schizophrenia. Group therapy and family therapy are commonly used because they directly address social skills, support networks, and family dynamics that influence relapse and daily functioning. Individual therapy, while useful for coping strategies and cognitive work, is generally seen as less central as a stand-alone approach since it doesn’t engage the broader social context as effectively. Couples therapy is less common due to the complexities of symptom management and relationship dynamics in this population. So, the modality that seems least used is individual therapy.
