“…Five of these studies 24 , 26 , 33 , 35 , 37 focused on the possible effects of movie interventions on students of health professions, such as nursing and medicine. Only one of the described interventions 18 was performed in patients with schizophrenia. The methodology in all of these interventions varied, but generally involved the presentation of a fiction movie followed by discussion, lecture, workshop or writing activities.…”

“…The methodology in all of these interventions varied, but generally involved the presentation of a fiction movie followed by discussion, lecture, workshop or writing activities. It should be noted that only two 24 , 26 out of four quantitative studies 18 , 24 , 26 , 33 included a control group, as well as pre- and post-intervention testing and follow-up. The remaining two obtained their results predominantly through qualitative analysis 35 , 37 .…”

“…One 28 of the trials did not include a follow-up. Two other studies randomly allocated participants and included pre-and post-intervention testing 18,21 , but did not include a control or follow-up group, while three studies only presented post-intervention testing [29][30][31] . In addition, four studies were not randomized, but included pre-and post-tests [32][33][34][35] .…”

“…These investigations may also be important in developing alternative treatments and interventions for patients diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and those diagnosed with schizophrenia. Both diagnoses are characterized by deficits in social functioning as one of the main diagnostic criteria, especially deficits in the ability to mentalize 18 , 19 . Studies by Gürcan et al 18 , Peña et al 20 and Pino and Mazza 21 suggest that interventions using literary fiction or movies can improve clinical symptomatology in schizophrenia, as well as promote mentalizing and social functioning skills.…”

Social cognition is an umbrella term used to address the set of neurocognitive processes involved in effective social interaction, such as Theory of Mind and empathy, and is important for understanding of others’ intentions and actions and decision making. Narratives can serve as tools for learning social norms and understanding other people, as they involve mental simulations of social interactions. This review aimed to gather the results of current studies on the effects of reading and watching fiction movies on the development of social cognition. We included 16 publications, all of which were empirical studies. The results showed that, depending on individual factors, as well as on the specifics of the intervention, both reading and watching movies seem to influence the processes of development of social cognition, especially if associated with concomitant or subsequent activities, such as discussions. More research is needed to understand the specific details of this relationship.

Functioning is recognized as a key treatment goal in alleviating the burden of schizophrenia. Psychological interventions can play an important role in improving functioning in this population, but the evidence on their efficacy is limited. We therefore aimed to evaluate the effect of psychological interventions in functioning for patients with schizophrenia. To conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched for published and unpublished randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, BIOSIS, Cochrane Library, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), ClinicalTrials.gov and the Study register of the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group. The outcome functioning was measured with validated scales. We performed random-effects pairwise meta-analysis to calculate standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We included 58 RCTs (5048 participants). Psychological interventions analyzed together (SMD = – 0.37, 95% CI – 0.49 to – 0.25), cognitive behavioral therapy (30 RCTs, SMD = – 0.26, 95% CI – 0.39 to – 0.12), and third wave cognitive-behavioral therapies (15 RCTs, SMD = – 0.60, 95% CI – 0.83 to – 0.37) were superior to control in improving functioning, while creative therapies (8 RCTs, SMD = 0.01, 95% CI – 0.38 to 0.39), integrated therapies (4 RCTs, SMD = – 0.21, 95% CI – 1.20 to 0.78) and other therapies (4 RCTs, SMD = – 0.74, 95% CI – 1.52 to 0.04) did not show a benefit. Psychological interventions, in particular cognitive behavioral therapy and third wave cognitive behavioral therapies, have shown a therapeutic effect on functioning. The confidence in the estimate was evaluated as very low due to risk of bias, heterogeneity and possible publication bias.
