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).
