Patients suffering from their first episode of schizophrenic disorders are randomly allocated to either a short "information centered psychoeducation" (ICP) of 8 sessions or a "cognitive behavioral treatment" (CBT). CBT includes 8 sessions of psychoeducation, 8 sessions of computer based cognitive training, 8 sessions with relatives and 20 sessions of focusing on stress management, relapse prevention and coping with persistent symptoms.
The primary endpoint is relapse at the one and two year follow up.
