Reality checking.......

I know it's pretty straight forward what it is and/or how it's done. However, do any of you have any special techniques? I speak slow and calm, I usually try to get the patient to look at me then tell me things they see in the room, have them touch something, tell me how it feels, etc........I'm asking specifically schizophrenic patients that are responding to internal stimuli or are riding out a delusion.

Know what I mean?

Look forward to your input!
