Cognitive Remediation to Improve Functional Outcome

Abstract Cognitive dysfunction is common in psychotic disorders and significantly contributes to difficulty functioning in the home, and in therapeutic, social, educational, and occupational venues. Cognitive remediation is a behavioural treatment used to improve cognition, so people can function better in their life roles. In this chapter, we provide a brief overview of cognition in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, how cognition relates to their everyday functioning, and the approaches used in cognitive remediation to improve cognition. We focus on the literature supporting the impact of cognitive remediation on functional outcome, and examine the factors recognised to maximise therapeutic outcome. Finally, we consider some of the challenges and opportunities that arise when implementing cognitive remediation in mental health service settings.
