Individuals with schizophrenia and related disorders experience
significant functioning deficits in the community. The study of
social cognition in schizophrenia has grown rapidly over the past
decade, and a consensus has developed among researchers that
dysfunction in social cognition may contribute to the severe
interpersonal problems that are a hallmark of schizophrenia. This
has generated hope that treatments which improve social cognition
in this illness may enhance an individual's ability to live a
socially engaged and rewarding life.
Social Cognition in Schizophrenia: From Evidence to Treatment
provides a firm grounding in the theory and research of normal
social cognition, builds on this base to describe how social
cognition appears to be dysfunctional in schizophrenia, and
explains how this dysfunction might be ameliorated. Composed of
contributed chapters written by the top experts in the field, the
volume is divided into three parts to address each of these areas.
Part I, Foundations of Human Social Cognition, explores normal
social cognition in childhood development, adulthood, and across
cultures, as well the brain-bases of social cognition and clinical
social cognition research. Part II, Social Cognition in
Schizophrenia: Descriptive and Experimental Research, discusses
social cognition and functional outcome, emotion processing, Theory
of Mind, paranoid ideation, social cognition in early psychosis,
and the social cognitive neuroscience of schizophrenia. Part III,
Social Cognition in Schizophrenia: Treatment Approaches, focuses on
findings from current treatment outcome research as well as several
leading social cognitive intervention approaches-Integrated
Neurocognitive Therapy (INT), Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (CET),
Metacognitive Training (MCT), and Social Cognition and Interaction
Training (SCIT). This comprehensive, accessible volume will be
invaluable to researchers studying social cognition and
psychosocial treatment development in schizophrenia, clinicians
working with this patient population, students in social and
clinical psychology, nursing, social work and occupational therapy,
and medical students.
