点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

People with a psychotic illness often experience unemployment, social isolation and difficulty living independently. Social and cognitive (e.g. thinking and memory) skill difficulties contribute to this, however, most psychiatric treatments fail to improve the underlying skill problems. This program of research will measure whether computer-assisted cognitive remediation and social skill training can effectively improve everyday living and social participation in people with a psychotic illness.
