Skill building interventions to address barriers to social inclusion for people with schizophrenia

患有精神疾病的人经常经历失业、社会孤立和难以独立生活。社会和认知（如思考和记忆）技能困难是造成这种情况的原因之一，然而，大多数精神病学治疗未能改善潜在的技能问题。这个研究项目将测量计算机辅助认知补救和社会技能训练是否能有效地改善精神病患者的日常生活和社会参与。

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.
