Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of modified Morita therapy combined with reading therapy in the treatment of schizophrenia in the convalescent period. Methods: 60 schizophrenic patients who recovered in Kailuan Mental Health Center from December 2021 to October 2022 were randomly divided into study group and control group. The control group was treated with Morita improved therapy, and the study group was treated with reading method and Morita combined therapy for 8 weeks. Positive and negative symptom scale (PANS), self rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the efficacy. Results: (1) there was no significant difference between the two groups before operation (P>0.05). After 8 weeks, there was a significant time interaction between the total components, negative components, general psychopathological components and time components of PANS in the two groups (total components of the two groups: F group=18.301, F time=294.167, Fgroup * time=176.405, P<0.001). Eight weeks after operation, the total score and negative score of PANS in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Modified Morita therapy and reading therapy can effectively improve the curative effect of schizophrenia patients in rehabilitation period, and reduce their anxiety and depression.
