Negative symptoms in schizophrenia: comments from a clinical psychology perspective

Nicholas Tarrier. Schizophr Bull. 2006 Apr.

Abstract

The NIMH-MATRICS Consensus Statement on Negative Symptoms is covered from the perspective of Clinical Psychology. The neurobiological model implicit in the Statement can be criticized on the basis that it is scientifically restrictive and narrow and poorly serves clinical practice and service development. Aspects of the Statement relating to psychological treatments are discussed.
