Promoting Cognitive Health in Schizophrenia

The goal of this program is to improve performance on cognitive domains known to hinder functioning. It aims to promote positive attitudes towards learning and facilitate the development of independent learning skills to foster competence and confidence. Another aim is to increase patients' awareness of their cognitive strengths and weaknesses and their own problem solving strategies.

The metacognitive training (MCT) program is based on the theoretical foundations of cognitive models of schizophrenia but employs a slightly different focus in its therapeutic approach targeting the specific cognitive biases underlying delusions. The modules aim to raise awareness of these biases and prompts participants to critically reflect on and update their problem-solving repertoire.
