A 24-year-old man has recovered from his first episode of schizophrenia and has been well on aripiprazole for four months. He has moved back in with his parents, who telephone the case manager several times a week, criticise him at home for not trying, and check whether he has swallowed each dose. He has no residual voices or delusions, sleeps well, takes his medication reliably and attends every appointment. He is not yet looking for work, and formal testing showed no cognitive deficit. Which one of the following psychosocial interventions is most likely to reduce his risk of relapse?
