Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Schizophrenia: How Much Can Be Achieved and How?
The introduction of antipsychotic agents in the 1950’s substantially improved the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. However, clinical and functional outcomes are still far less than optimal for patients, and have not improved in recent years despite the development of several new antipsychotics. Efficacy rates are further compromised by medication non-adherence, which has been reported to affect more than half of patients. In response to these issues, several non-pharmacological interventions have been developed for the treatment of schizophrenia, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive remediation, social cognition training and metacognitive approaches.

Know Thyself
How do you know when you've studied enough to pass an exam? Should you accept the testimony of an eyewitness? How do you know when to trust a doctor's orders? The answer is self awareness. Self awareness is humans' greatest superpower. Like the conductor of an orchestra, self awareness guides the musicians of the mind - memory, creativity, intelligence and skill - to perform at their best. So why do we so often get it wrong? Drawing on his own pioneering studies, as well as cutting-edge research in computer science, psychology and evolutionary biology, Stephen Fleming shows how we can learn from this groundbreaking new science, and gain the edge in a rapidly changing world.
Kendini Bilmek
"Sadece bilge ya da ölçülü bir adam kendini bilir ve ne bilip ne bilmediğini ayırt edebilir... Başka hiç kimse bunu yapamaz.” Sokrates Sinirbilimci Stephen M. Fleming, Kendini Bilmek: Öz Farkındalık Bilimi adını verdiği çalışmasında felsefe ve düşünce tarihinin ilk dönemlerinden beri insanoğlunun en temel meselelerinden olan "kendini bilme” pratiğini psikoloji ve nörobilimin en güncel araştırmalarıyla masaya yatırıyor. Öz farkındalığın nasıl işlediğini anlatarak "kendini bil” olarak tarif edilen antik çağrıya cevap veriyor. Öz farkındalık, kendi hatalarımızı fark etmek ve deneyimlerimiz üzerine yorum yapmak gibi yeteneklerin toplamıdır...
MKT+
Mit dem MKT+ wird ein Therapiekonzept vorgelegt, das bewährte Techniken der kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie bei Psychosen mit innovativen metakognitiven Elementen verbindet: Patienten werden vom Therapeuten angeleitet, "Denkfallen" zu erkennen, die Positivsymptome begünstigen können, und diese zu entschärfen. Mit einer Fülle an kreativen Übungen und Evaluationsinstrumenten ist das Buch eine Fundgrube für Therapeuten. Eine Vielzahl an Fallbeispielen und Formulierungsvorschlägen erleichtert auch weniger erfahrenen Therapeuten den Einstieg in die Therapie mit schizophrenen Patienten. Die zweite Auflage wurde durch eine neue Therapieeinheit zu affektiven Problemen sowie durch eine Vielzahl von Übungen erweitert.
Novel Antischizophrenia Treatments
This volume tries to put current therapy - achievements, shortcomings, remaining medical needs - and emerging new targets into the context of increasing knowledge regarding the genetic and neurodevelopmental contributions to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Some of the chapters also deal with respective experimental and clinical methodology, biomarkers, and translational aspects of drug development. The volume concentrates on reviewing the ongoing research attempting to identify novel treatments for the cognitive deficits and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, which are not treated adequately by current antipsychotic medications.
Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT)
Impairments in social functioning are among the hallmark characteristics of schizophrenia. These deficits predict relapse rate and may be independent of better-studied symptoms such as hallucinations. Additionally, studies indicate that social functioning is one of the most important domains for individuals with schizophrenia, many of whom consider social functioning to be a key area of unmet need. Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT) is a group psychotherapy for individuals with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Social cognition refers to the thinking processes that people use to navigate the social world. Deficits in social cognition hinder people with schizophrenia ...
Recovery in Mental Health
Winner of Medical Journalists’ Association Specialist Readership Award 2010 Recovery is widely endorsed as a guiding principle of mental health policy. Recovery brings new rules for services, e.g. user involvement and person-centred care, as well as new tools for clinical collaborations, e.g. shared decision making and psychiatric advance directives. These developments are complemented by new proposals regarding more ethically consistent anti-discrimination and involuntary treatment legislation, as well as participatory approaches to evidence-based medicine and policy. Recovery is more than a bottom up movement turned into top down mental health policy in English-speaking countries. Recove...
Aberrant Beliefs and Reasoning
An aberrant belief is extreme or unusual in nature. In the most serious cases these beliefs cause emotional distress in those who hold them, and typify the core symptoms of psychological disorders. Each of the chapters in this volume seeks to examine the role that biases in reasoning can play in the formation of aberrant beliefs. The chapters consider several conjectures about the role of reasoning in aberrant belief, including the role of the jumping to conclusion bias in delusional beliefs, the probabilistic bias in paranormal beliefs, the role of danger confirming reasoning in phobias, and the controversial notion that people with schizophrenia do not succumb to specific forms of reasoning bias. There are also chapters evaluating different theoretical perspectives, and suggestions for future research. Aberrant Beliefs and Reasoning is the first volume presenting an overview of contemporary research in this growing subject area. It will be essential reading for academics and students in the fields of human reasoning, cognitive psychology and philosophy, and will also be of great interest to clinicians and psychiatrists.
