This study will test the effects of residential and essentially non-medication treatment on schizophrenia. There is sufficient research to question the effectiveness of antipsychotic medications in the management of schizophrenia, the long term prognoses for patients on these medications, and the effectiveness of residential treatment (e.g., Hegarty et al., 1994).

Conflict between Medical Research & Ethics: Case of Tuskegee Syphilis Introduction Each day medical providers and researchers make decisions about what information is necessary to disclose to patients and under what circumstances they should make disclosures. In the clinical setting, the negative implications of a poorly considered disclosure decision can involve simple problems such as a patient being unaware that a medication may cause nausea. However, some disclosure decisions can have more serious consequences such as a patient undergoing intensive treatment without sufficient knowledge of their poor prognosis. ( L.
