Authors' recommendations:
Despite limitations, most group therapies seemed to be superior to treatment-as-usual or individual therapy in maintaining long-term improvement of outcomes in patients with schizophrenia. It is not possible to know for certain which group therapy is best, when comparing among them. Each group therapy appears to have specific impact on certain types of outcome measures. The development of a universal group therapy may provide long-term improvement to most major outcomes in schizophrenia.
