“Before addressing these specific problems, it should be noted that one concept underlies all rehabilitation efforts—hope. If the individual with schizophrenia has hope, then rehabilitation efforts are likely to succeed. If the person has no hope, these efforts are likely to fail. This was shown in a recent Swiss study of forty-six individuals with schizophrenia in which poor rehabilitation outcomes were predicted by “pessimistic outcome expectancies . . . and depressive-resigned coping strategies,” in short, “whether the patient has already given up or not.” Treatment and rehabilitation programs will succeed, therefore, only insofar as they also engender hope.”
