Abstract
Schizophrenia is part of psychosis disorders and happens in one percent of the population. Schizophrenia can cause distress and functional impairment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a form of psychological treatment in which there is an effort to change a patients mindset, is one of many choices for non-pharmacologic therapy in schizophrenia. This article aims to explain CBTs efficacy in schizophrenia. We concluded that CBT is an effective therapy for Schizophrenia because CBT can assist patients in gaining more understanding and reduce the intensity of any remaining positive symptoms. Therefore, CBT must be effectively used throughout psychiatric clinics and community-based mental health systems.
