Abstract

The author describes the preliminary results of a clinical pilot study of a symptom management program for adolescents who are recovering from a nondrug-induced psychotic episode. The program was designed as a follow-up treatment for adolescents who are living at home with their families. Preliminary findings showed that the program was effective in increasing the adolescents' ability to recognize symptoms of their illnesses and to develop coping strategies to manage their symptoms.
