Abstract EN
Efforts to use cognitive remediation in psychosocial intervention for schizophrenia have increasingly incorporated social cognition as a treatment target.
A distinction can be made in this work between “broad-based” interventions, which integrate social cognitive training within a multicomponent suite of intervention techniques and “targeted” interventions; which aim to enhance social cognition alone.
Targeted interventions have the potential advantage of being more efficient than broad-based interventions; however, they also face difficult challenges.
In particular, targeted interventions may be less likely to achieve maintenance and generalization of gains made in treatment.
A novel potential solution to this problem is described which draws on the social psychological literature on social cognition.
