Overview"""Cognitive Remediation Therapy for Schizophrenia"" describes the background and development of this new psychological therapy and demonstrates how it provides the first structured help to overcome the thinking problems associated with schizophrenia. In three sections, the book covers the theoretical and empirical underpinning of cognitive remediation therapy and explores its application. Part one, 'The development of therapy', provides the historical context and theoretical background to the therapy and in part two, 'improving cognitive processes', the process and effects of changing cognition are examined. Finally, in part 3, 'the process of therapy', the authors provide a clinical guide to the delivery of cognitive remediation therapy and use case examples to support its efficacy. This book is the first to describe an individual cognitive remediation therapy programme based on a clear model of the relationship between thinking and behaviour. It will be of both academic and clinical value to all those health professionals and clinical academics who want not only to understand the relationships between thought and action but also to intervene to improve therapy."
