Psychiatric News contributer Mark Moran writes in an interesting article that "cognitive enhancement therapy has a direct theoretical connection to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and targets discrete cognitive deficits associated with poor functional outcome."
"Cognitive enhancement therapy that seeks to teach discrete social and neurocognitive abilities to patients with schizophrenia is the newest wrinkle in an evolving field of psychosocial treatment pioneered by Gerard Hogarty, M.S.W. Hogarty died at age 70 on April 7, 2006."
"Hogarty, a professor emeritus of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, was posthumously awarded the APA/American Psychiatric Foundation Alexander Gralnick, M.D., Award for Research in Schizophrenia at the 58th Institute on Psychiatric Services last month."
