The CURESZ Foundation welcomes Alice Medalia, PhD, to present a virtual lecture in memory of Anthony Vitucci titled:
How to Address Cognitive Health in Schizophrenia
Cognitive health, which refers to the ability to think, learn, and remember clearly so we function at our best in daily life, is a concern for many people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Although cognitive challenges associated with schizophrenia are highly prevalent, very few receive cognitive treatment, or even acknowledgement of the concern. Cognitive remediation is the only evidence based treatment available to address the cognitive challenges associated with schizophrenia This lecture will review the key characteristics of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia, describe what cognitive remediation is, its evidence base, when and for whom it is used, and the role of motivation in treatment outcomes. Evidence based, practical and scalable methods for addressing cognitive health in the clinical setting will be discussed.
