Abstract

Disorganized speech is one of the key symptoms of schizophrenia. This article provides an overview of those areas of speech and communication impaired in patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, the state of the art of behavioral interventions is summarized. In conclusion, more well-controlled speech-language therapy studies are required in order to improve participation and communication-related quality of life in schizophrenia.
