A randomized, controlled trial of Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT) for outpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders

Abstract

Social cognitive intervention is a feasible and promising approach to improving social functioning among individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. Dose-response findings suggest that delivering social cognitive interventions with greater frequency may maximize their benefit to patients. Research on social cognitive interventions is still young and effects from well-controlled trials have been inconsistent. It is not yet clear which components of social cognitive training may be the key active ingredients.

Comprehensive treatments for social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia: A critical review and effect-size analysis of controlled studies

“…And, while Fiszdon and Reddy (2012) included an analysis of comprehensive social cognitive treatment programs in their analysis of "broad-based" programs of social cognition, they did not provide a quantitative analysis of these treatment effects via the analysis of study effect-sizes. In addition, a growing number of studies, the majority of high design quality (e.g., Roberts et al, 2014), have been published over the past three years. Indeed, eight controlled trials of comprehensive programs of social cognitive training consisting of 378 participants have been published since the Kurtz & Richardson, 2012 review, while 6 novel trials of social cognitive training consisting of 281 participants have been published since the Fiszdon & Reddy, 2012 review.…”

These new trials have represented several of the largest sample studies in this research area to date (e.g., Hasson-Ohayon, Mashiach-Eizenberg, Avidan, Roberts, & Roe, 2014;Roberts et al, 2014).…”

Ist Wahn indirekt veränderbar? Ein stimmungsverbesserndes Konzept der kognitive Verhaltenstherapie für die stationäre Standardversorgung von Patienten mit schizophrenen Störungen

“…Zu diesen Faktoren zählen Depressivität, Ängstlichkeit, Sorgenund Grübelverhalten [Freeman et al, 2012;Hartley et al, 2014], Schlaf [Freeman et al, 2012;Freeman et al, 2010] und Selbstwert [Thewissen et al, 2008;Smith et al, 2006]. Andere indirekte Ansät-ze haben das Ziel, kognitive Verarbeitungsstile (voreiliges Schlussfolgern (jumping-to-conclusions bias), einen personalen Kausalattributionsstil, Defizite in der Theory of Mind) zu verändern (Reasoning-Training: Waller et al [2015]; Social Cognition and Interaction Training: Roberts et al [2014]; Metakognitives Training: Moritz et al [2007]). …”

Behandlungen kognitiver Verzerrungen bei Psychose: Ein Überblick der aktuellen Befunde

“…eines Familienmitglieds, weiter zu üben. Eine randomisiert-kontrollierte Studie zeigte nach einer 6-wöchigen Intervention eine Verbesserung der sozialen Fertigkeiten sowie eine Reduktion der Negativsymptomatik [Roberts et al, 2014]. Ebenso zeigte sich in einer chinesischen Stichprobe im Vergleich zu einer Wartebedingung eine signifikante Verbesserung der Emotionswahrnehmung, des Einfühlungsvermögens, der Attributionstendenz und den sozialen Fertigkeiten [Wang et al, 2013].…”
