Question:
In adult males with acute psychiatric conditions how effective is group social skills training, compared to any other intervention, for improving patient outcomes?
Answer:
No definite clinical or research implications can be made from
the available evidence. Three relatively older clinical trials
evaluated social skills training in male schizophrenic patients,
but the studies were not well reported, and two had small sample
sizes. While some positive outcomes were indicated from these
studies, the reliability of their results is uncertain.
