Impairments in social functioning are among the hallmark
characteristics of schizophrenia. These deficits predict relapse
rate and may be independent of better-studied symptoms such as
hallucinations. Additionally, studies indicate that social
functioning is one of the most important domains for individuals
with schizophrenia, many of whom consider social functioning to be
a key area of unmet need. Social Cognition and Interaction Training
(SCIT) is a group psychotherapy for individuals with schizophrenia
and other psychotic disorders. Social cognition refers to the
thinking processes that people use to navigate the social world.
Deficits in social cognition hinder people with schizophrenia and
other mental illnesses from living meaningful, socially connected
lives. The SCIT Clinician Guide provides comprehensive instruction
for mental health professionals to enhance social cognition and
promote rewarding social lives for their clients. SCIT is
appropriate for adults suffering from psychotic illness and who
have interpersonal difficulties as a result. SCIT is particularly
appropriate for individuals with symptoms of suspiciousness and
paranoia. The authors summarize the rationale and theoretical
underpinnings of SCIT, distinguish it from other treatments for
psychosis, provide an overview of the intervention, explain the
links between the intervention activities and the underlying
theoretical model, and describe SCIT implementation
session-by-session. SCIT is a 20- to 24-week group-based treatment
that can be delivered by mental health clinicians of all levels in
a wide range of community and hospital settings. SCIT uses
exercises, games, discussion formats, and interactive social
stimuli to target and improve specific areas of social cognitive
dysfunction, and includes user-friendly tips and handouts for
clients. It also provides web access to a library of videos, images
and slide shows that are used to bring the SCIT training sessions
to life.
