In general, people with schizophrenia tend to employ poor problem-solving strategies, are more likely to adopt passive coping styles, tend to use fewer types of coping strategies and have a propensity to avoid stressors (Thurm & Haefner 1987, Wiedl 1992, Macdonald et al. 1998, Horan & Blanchard 2003, Lysaker et al. 2003).engjournal article10.1111/jpm.12141
