In my experience and in other parts of the world, I found many individuals who do not have enough understanding of the history of treatment.  And without the history, I am hard put to understand how these individuals can comprehend today's treatment.  Actually, I believe that students during their academic careers are not faced with the importance of the past regarding treatment and the history of psychotherapy with schizophrenia.
The following is designed for those interested in furthering their understanding of the past with the hope that these individuals will bepersuaded to go further and find out more.
I will submit questions on a periodic basis, I hope that I will help some people enlarge their understanding.
I hope that the list of questions below will lead to further research.
