Practicing mental health counselors and counselors-in-training (N = 251) were given a measure of tolerance toward people with schizophrenia. Half of the sample received a version that used the term “schizophrenic” and half received a version that used “person with schizophrenia.” Counselors and those in training who received the version with the term “schizophrenic” had attitudes that were more authoritarian, more socially restrictive, and less benevolent. Practicing counselors and counseling students were both affected by terminology, although there were greater differences in tolerance based on language for practicing counselors. The results of this study provide the first empirical evidence for the elimination of the term “schizophrenic” from clinical practice.

是时候让辅导员修改我们的语言了：当我们称我们的客户为精神分裂症患者与精神分裂症患者时，这很重要

从业心理健康顾问和受训顾问 ( N = 251) 被给予一定程度的对精神分裂症患者的容忍度。一半样本收到了使用“精神分裂症”一词的版本，另一半收到了使用“精神分裂症患者”的版本。接受“精神分裂症”一词版本的辅导员和接受培训的人的态度更专制，更受社会限制，更不仁慈。执业辅导员和辅导学生都受到术语的影响，尽管执业辅导员在不同语言的容忍度上存在较大差异。这项研究的结果为从临床实践中消除“精神分裂症”一词提供了第一个经验证据。
