Book Synopsis Schizophrenia from a Neurocognitive Perspective by : Michael Foster Green
Download or read book Schizophrenia from a Neurocognitive Perspective written by Michael Foster Green and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 1998 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schizophrenia From A Neurocognitive Perspective: Probing the Impenetrable Darkness is a sole-authored work and the first book to provide an integrative framework for the theme of neurocognition in schizophrenia. Recent advances in schizophrenia research have brought about a fundamental shift in the way the disorder is viewed. Schizophrenia is seen increasingly as a neurocognitive illness. This view has its roots in both the psychological and medical models, but it goes beyond them. The book uses neurocognitive concepts to guide the reader through neurochemical, neuroanatomical, and clinical features of schizophrenia. It also presents clinically relevant information on the interrelationships among neurocognitive deficits, treatment, and outcome. Both students and practitioners will benefit from learning about rapid advances in schizophrenia research and treatment that are dramatically changing our view of this disorder.

Book Synopsis INT-Integrated Neurocognitive Therapy for Schizophrenia Patients by : Volker Roder
Download or read book INT-Integrated Neurocognitive Therapy for Schizophrenia Patients written by Volker Roder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains concrete and step by step information with many practical examples. It is in line with the most actual international empirical findings about schizophrenia and contains the most updated therapy approach being available currently. The techniques and exercises (partly computer-based) are described in detail. Case examples point out specific therapeutic situations and teach the therapist how to cope with complicated group and individual demands. Assessment for patient selection, differential indication and therapy control within a multi-dimensional treatment and rehabilitation system are discussed. INT was evaluated successfully in an international randomised multi-centre study. In the meantime it is implemented in many clinical settings in German speaking countries. Integrated Neurocognitive Therapy (INT) is a cognitive remediation therapy approach. INT is the first treatment manual comprising all MATRICS areas (Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia). The NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health, USA) initiated this MATRICS initiative. MATRICS defines 11 neurocognitive and social cognitive areas of functioning being relevant for patients with schizophrenia. The improvement of these areas in a group therapy is the main goal of INT. INT is based on IPT (Integrated Psychological Therapy, Roder et al 2010). It is a resource and a recovery oriented intervention to enhance also therapy motivation and self-esteem and to reduce negative symptoms. Therapy focuses especially on group processes and the exercises augment transfer and generalisation to daily life. As a meta goal INT intends to amend life quality and the reintegration of the patients in the community. The presented manual offers the clinicians a practically orientated guide for carrying out INT.
Book Synopsis Cognitive Remediation Therapy for Schizophrenia by : Professor Til Wykes
Download or read book Cognitive Remediation Therapy for Schizophrenia written by Professor Til Wykes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could CRT provide the first structured method of alleviating cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia? Cognitive Remediation Therapy for Schizophrenia describes the background and development of this new psychological therapy and demonstrates how it provides the first structured help to overcome the thinking problems associated with schizophrenia. In three sections, the book covers the theoretical and empirical underpinning of cognitive remediation therapy and explores its application. Part I, 'The Development of Therapy', provides the historical context and theoretical background to the therapy and emphasizes the value of rehabilitating cognitive deficits. In Part II, 'Improving Cognitive Processes', the process and effects of changing cognition are examined. Finally, in Part III, 'The Process of Therapy', the authors provide a clinical guide to the delivery of cognitive remediation therapy and use case examples to support its efficacy. This book is the first to describe an individual cognitive remediation therapy programme based on a clear model of the relationship between thinking and behaviour. It will be of both academic and clinical value to all those health professionals and clinical academics who want not only to understand the relationships between thought and action but also to intervene to improve therapy.

Download or read book Psychosis written by Floriana Irtelli and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects chapters from a number of scientists all over the world, giving their contribution to the comprehension and clinical management of psychosis. The book adopts a perspective that respects the complexity of the human person and his/her relationships. It devotes a space both to the deepening of the more strictly biological aspects, the psychological aspects and the social aspects. Each section of the book (biological, psychological, social) reveals a deep connection with the themes of the other sections, showing the strength of this biopsychosocial interweaving. The relationship and the interweaving between these different areas is certainly a foundation of our existence and constitutes a law to which we cannot escape, so it is necessary that the biopsyosocial model is always considered in the interventions for the psychotic patient. This book also focuses on some specific and very innovative topics such as the importance of psychosocial factors and family factors, complementary approaches to psychosis managment, subclinical psychosis and relational aspects of psychosis.

Book Synopsis Schizophrenia by : Peter Kenneth Chadwick
Download or read book Schizophrenia written by Peter Kenneth Chadwick and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schizophrenia: The Positive Perspectivecounters a century-long tradition which has searched relentlessly for the critical deficits and dysfunctions in schizophrenic people. Peter Chadwick, who has himself suffered from the illness, shows that such people can demonstrate elevated creativity, empathy and social sensitivity and are by no means as irrational and misguided as is commonly thought. The author presents the fascinating case studies of some schizophrenics with whom he has worked. Using autobiography, biography, psychometric and experimental methods, he reveals areas of enhanced functioning in those vulnerable to the schizophrenia label, and argues for a much more positive picture of the schizophrenia-prone mind.

Book Synopsis Cognition in Schizophrenia by : Tonmoy Sharma
Download or read book Cognition in Schizophrenia written by Tonmoy Sharma and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it has been known for 100 years that cognitive functioning is impaired in schizophrenia, the implications of this impairment have only recently been clearly understood. While in the past, cognitive deficits were thought to be the result of other aspects of the illness, such as poor co-operation, or as a result of the treatment of the illness, it is now known that these factors exert only a very minor influence on cognitive deficit. This book, with contributions from the major international names in the field, reviews the most recent research on the impairment of cognitive functioning in schizophrenia, covering: what it is, how wide-ranging it can be, what the clinical implications are, and how it can be treated? A detailed insight into cognitive deficit is the key to understanding why previous treatments have failed, and the key by which new treatments may change this terrible illness, treatments significantly more effective than earlier interventions.
