Funded Activity Summary

National network for the study of cognitive processes and treatment across the phases of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is associated with great costs to the community and individual. Controlled studies have demonstrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is efficacious in treating symptoms of schizophrenia. Studies of cognitive processes have also advanced understanding of psychotic phenomena. This initiative affords the opportunity to 1) Improve treatment efficacy by developing, testing and applying theoretically-driven models of psychotic symptoms. 2) Disseminate the findings of research on CBT for psychotic disorders in clinical settings by (a) training the work-force, and (b) facilitating CBT delivery in routine practice. 3) Apply CBT in various settings with a variety of psychotic populations to test its effectiveness in routine clinical settings.
