I will present the model of thinking o f the Cracow society in dealing with first episodes of schizophrenia in adolescents. During adolescence schizophrenia brings about diagnostic difficulties, because it is a period o f stormy psychosocial and biological changes in the patient. Also, the responsibility of the therapists seems to be different - perhaps even more so than in their work with an adult. Importance o f the environment o f the psychiatric ward and group psychotherapy as well as the peer group for the patients, the role o f family therapy, especially trans-generational transmission, place of individual psychotherapy and biological therapy in this system, all will be discussed. 1 will describe the importance of both, pedagogical therapy and the school in the course o f the therapeutic process of the adolescent patients. In a closer manner, 1 will also describe the emotional problems of therapists dealing with adolescents having psychosis.
