About the Book

Clinical research on the effectiveness of cognitive remediation (CR) indicates that while most approaches will improve cognitive functioning for persons with severe mental illnesses, only certain methods also improve functioning in areas such as independent living, work, and school performance. Cognitive Remediation to Improve Functional Outcomes provides mental health practitioners with the background knowledge, hands-on methods, and tools they need to provide CR to patients in a way that maximizes the transfer of cognitive gains to everyday functioning. An outstanding group of international experts have contributed chapters that provide information on assessment, treatment planning, groups, cultural sensitivity, and specific CR techniques to promote functional change. Clinicians will come to understand the variety of treatment methods and how they can be applied to the diverse range of individuals who stand to benefit from cognitive remediation. This is the first practitioner-oriented resource on CR to provide information on how to tailor the treatment to meet the functional needs of patients. For clinicians working in outpatient or inpatient psychiatric settings, this volume will be critically important in daily work with clients.

Review :
"The editors and authors of this book address one of the greatest challenges in psychiatry: available pharmacotherapy has little impact on the functional disability that is characteristic of people with psychotic disorders. Here, the leading experts in the field show that cognitive remediation is an approach, available today, which may enhance the recovery of people challenged by psychotic disorders. Clinicians, students, researchers, and policy makers interested in the care for people with psychosis should all be familiar with this work." --James M. Gold, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine "Written by noted experts in cognitive and social cognitive remediation, this book addresses a key, and often neglected, need in psychiatric rehabilitation. Decades of work have been devoted to developing ways to improve cognitive performance for individuals who have severe mental illness. The impetus for these interventions is a desire to improve the lives of patients, yet we know rather little about how to make this happen. Cognitive Remediation to Improve Functional Outcomes focuses on the critical step of moving beyond improving cognition to improving daily life." --Michael F. Green, PhD. Professor-in-Residence, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences and Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA
