Hong Kong schizophrenia care shifts to strength-based model

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Professor Sylvia Kwok of City University of Hong Kong is advocating for a shift in schizophrenia care from a deficit-based model to a strength-based approach. Her decade-long work in Hong Kong's halfway houses focuses on rebuilding patients' hope, identity, and life goals through positive psychotherapy and meaning-centered therapy. This alternative model aims to cultivate internal resources and social capital, leading to improved well-being and reduced relapse rates, impacting over 300 individuals across all Hong Kong halfway houses.
