Introduction: This paper presents an analysis of three clinical cases treated with two versions of the bio-psycho-social model:

        1. Model with Biological Prevalence: The treatment of choice is pharmacological, complemented by psychotherapy and supportive sociotherapy. The aim is to reduce the severity of symptoms, but this results in a reduction of the capabilities of the patient.

        2. Model with Psychological Prevalence: The treatment of choice is psychotherapy, with psychopharmacotherapy as a supportive measure. The aim is to increase awareness of maladaptive relational rules that generate symptoms to facilitate the decision to modify them.

Objectives: The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the bio-psycho-social model with psychological prevalence facilitates the understanding of the psychotic patient, leading to increased treatment efficiency.

Methods: In the integrated treatment approach, the method applied is a unique intervention model that seeks to identify the stable rules of functioning of the patient and their family. This model guides interventions, which are focused on awareness and decision-making, across all settings of the care community:

        - Individual, family, group psychotherapy and body therapy

        - Sociotherapy: Workshops with four levels of increasing autonomy

        - Psychopharmacotherapy: To reduce the pain of awareness and decision-making

        - Supervision: To develop common guidelines and integration of interventions

Results: The results achieved from this approach include:

        - Symptom reduction

        - Reduction in voluntary and compulsory medical treatments

        - Reduction in psychopharmacotherapy (dosage and costs)

        - Affective autonomy and work-related autonomy

 

 

Conclusions: In conclusion, we highlight the opportunity to develop the different forms of the bio-psycho-social model with psychological prevalence.
