Abstract
Objectives: Schizophrenia is a serious disease that influences not only the patients themselves but also their family and the society. In this case, we employed art therapy and Korean traditional medicine for treating a schizophrenia patient.Methods: The patient was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and the main complaints were hallucination, visual hallucination and catatonic behavior. We treated the patient with art therapy and Korean traditional medicine including acupuncture, moxa and herbal medicine. We used the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for assessment.Results: After treatment, clinical symptoms were improved and the BPRS and PANSS scores were decreased, especially the scores for anxiety, depression and poor rapport.Conclusions: Combined treatment with art therapy and Korean traditional medicine can be effective for treating chronic schizophrenia.
