“…One possible way to do so is by reducing stress in the social environment of the patient (Pilling et al 2002). Training patients to apply selfrelaxation or self-distraction techniques seems to improve emotional well-being in chronic schizophrenia patients but not in early psychosis (Hodel et al 1998).…”

“…Specifically, Macdonald, Pica, McDonald, Hayes, and Baglioni (1998) found, for schizophrenics showing initial outbreaks, that those with higher scores on self-efficacy, a greater perception of social support, and more flexible strategies for facing stress did better in common stressful situations. Hodel, Brenner, Merlo, and Teuber (1998) described positive psychotherapeutic outcome for psychosis and, as noted above, many others have observed that subjects with eating disorders, who presented a feeling their eating behaviors were out of control, expressed less personal efficacy for self-regulating behaviors in handling stress. In interactions with significant others, they also believed control over their acts was not their responsibility.…”

This study analyzed the validity of the Sherer, et al. Self-efficacy Scale for a Spanish sample of 555 subjects, 257 men and 298 women. 415 were from the general population; 34 schizophrenics and 45 with eating disorders were from a clinic, plus 61 drug addicts from two centers. All met DSM-IV-R criteria. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Assertiveness Inventory, and the Self-control Questionnaire were administered. The reliability for total scores, general factor were high even when social self-efficacy was low. A bidimensional factor structure seemed more acceptable. The Self-efficacy scale scores correlated with those on the Self-control Questionnaire and the Assertiveness Inventory. Extraversion scores on the Sincerity dimension of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire correlated with scores on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Eysenck's Neuroticism and Psychoticism scales. Significant mean differences appeared between the general population group and the three clinical groups. These analyses support the usefulness of the scale for clinical practice and research with Spanish samples.

“…After 4 months only the latter measure was significantly different between groups. An earlier pilot study that compared chronic patients to early psychosis patients has shown promising results, although documentation is lacking [96].…”

“…A different treatment strategy that moves away from cognitive remediation and draws on principles from CBT is emotion management training (EMT) [95,96]. This is a 12-week program that has three phases: (1) breaking down and analysing the emotional expressions displayed by others and the self, (2) review of current coping strategies and (3) development of new, "efficient" and appropriate coping strategies.…”

Individuals with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder are among the most marginalized of any chronic illness group, having poorer performance and outcomes in nearly every domain of health and functioning. Poor social functioning is now widely acknowledged to be a major indicator of the prognosis of schizophrenia as well as a major contributor to illness outcome. Social and functional disabilities have serious detrimental effects on the individuals' quality of life and recovery, yet up until the twenty-first century treatment had largely been concentrated around symptomatic improvement, with the assumption that functional recovery would automatically follow. However, statistics on functional outcomes for individuals with schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses suggest that this is in fact a relatively rare phenomenon. The definitions of "functioning" and "outcome" have also been poorly defined and inconsistent over the years, with alleviation of psychotic symptoms and decreased hospital admissions weighing heavily in the characterisation of improved functional outcome. In the last decade most studies have included a general measure of global functioning and/or education/employment as an indicator, but these performance measures have generally not been the primary topic of interest. Only recently has the incorporation of "social" functioning (i.e. social competence, independent living, community involvement and interpersonal relationships), been included as an important factor in overall outcome and moved into the spotlight as a major target for intervention. Historically, social skills training and cognitive remediation have been used to target deficits in social behaviour and cognition, respectively. However, new intervention strategies are being designed to target the underlying thinking patterns related to social interaction, termed social cognition. This chapter will review the different types of interventions that have been or are currently used to treat social and occupational
