No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is evaluating the effectiveness of recovery oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R) for patients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. To evaluate CT-R, the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial with patients from community mental health centers. Participants will be randomized to the CT-R condition, in which the participants will receive approximately 9 months of CT-R as an adjunctive treatment to current medical treatment, or to the continued usual care control condition.

The primary outcome measure (positive, negative, and general psychopathology symptoms) as well as secondary measures (quality of life, self-esteem, social anhedonia, recovery, dysfunctional attitudes, resilience, internalized stigma, and hopelessness) will be measured at baseline, 4-5 months after the first therapy appointment, approximately 9 months after the first therapy appointment, and approximately 15 months after the baseline appointment.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Recovery Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R)

The CT-R that will be implemented in the present study will focus on strengthening aspirations and focusing on activities that can bring about one's desired life. In CT-R, clinicians use techniques to engage the patient in the adaptive mode, which includes cognitions, affects, motivation, and behaviors that are activated when the individual is engaged in personally meaningful activities.

OTHER

Treatment as Usual

All patients enrolled in the study who are randomized to the continued care as usual condition will continue to receive the treatments from their physician/treatment team at the Community Mental Health Center; however, they will not receive the adjunctive CT-R treatment.
