How it works: In the case of schizophrenia, when the patient is able to determine what their reality is, they get a reward, and when they relapse and believe that their hallucinations are reality, they get their reward taken away. At the end of the session or the therapy, the number of rewards the patient has can be cashed in for a prize.
