Improving Social Cognition and Social Behaviour in Various Brain Disorders

T-ScEmo is a multifaceted treatment protocol that has the overall aim to improve social cognition, regulation of social behaviour and social participation in everyday life (Westerhof et al., 2017; 2019). The treatment includes, in addition to practicing social cognitive skills throughout the treatment, close involvement of a significant other, and homework assignments. The treatment consists of three modules that address 1) perception of social information including facial expressions of emotions, 2) perspective taking and understanding of social information and 3) regulation of social behaviour. The treatment contains 15-one hour live treatment sessions with a neuropsychologist and 5 online practice sessions, once or twice a week. In the online sessions, the patient can practice the information at home as a neuropsychologist is available for questions. When patients find it too difficult to practice individually at home, there is a opportunity to offer these sessions as live sessions
