First sentence: Research over the past several years has increasingly demonstrated the value of psychosocial treatment interventions (those resulting in permanent skill enhancement) (Dilk and Bond, 1996; Heinssen, Liberman, and Kopelowicz, 2000; Penn and Mueser, 1996), yet over that same period, services offered to people with psychosis and other major mental disorders have lacked access to these interventions (Lehman, Steinwachs, and the Coinvestigators of the PORT Project, 1998; Lehman, 2000) or, in many cases, psychosocial interventions have been reduced or eliminated in favor of management (primarily medications) and control interventions (Hunter, 1999).
