• Write down the specification content (BELOW)
for what we have covered so far this year:

 Explanations for schizophrenia including
biological and sociocultural (labelling and family

 Treatments of schizophrenia, including antipsychotic drugs and psychotherapy. The role of
community care. Evaluation of these treatments
Learning Objectives
• ALL will apply knowledge of schizophrenia to
short answer examination questions
• MOST will assess their performance on each
question and record any learning points
• SOME will use their performance to identify
targets for revision for the November mock
exams (mid November)
