the cross-cultural applicability of a structured behavioral family intervention
model.
The few studies in this area of research, which specifically include
Latino or African-American schizophrenia patients, demonstrate that the
field remains largely unexplored. Although, it is too early to weigh the
evidence on ethnic minority response to psychosocial treatments, it is
important to note that the conclusions reached by the descriptive studies
are inconsistent with the results of the empirically-based findings of the
Telles et al. study.
The programs described in these studies combine clinical and social
support models of care. Although the clubhouse model described by
Plummer (1996) includes social and vocational services with specified goals
in those areas, emphasis is placed on a range of individual and group
psychosocial therapies. To date, there are no empirical studies examining
the cross-cultural applicability of community-based psychosocial
rehabilitation programs, namely Community Support Programs (CSPs)
(NIMH, 1982; Turner and TenHoor, 1978). In this regard, the present study
will examine the influence of psychosocial rehabilitation treatments on
sociocentricity over a three year period, and begin to address a much
needed area of research.
