antipsychotic medication
cognitive - behavioral therapy alone
electroconvulsive therapy

Explanation:

According to APA guidelines, for a first episode of schizophrenia, antipsychotic medication is the recommended first - line treatment. Cognitive - behavioral therapy alone is not sufficient as a first - line treatment for schizophrenia. Electroconvulsive therapy is used for specific cases, not as first - line for a first episode of schizophrenia. Psychodynamic therapy is not a first - line treatment for schizophrenia.

A. Antipsychotic medication
