INT-Integrated Neurocognitive Therapy for Schizophrenia Patients

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

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.

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.

It is a resource and a recovery oriented intervention to enhance also therapy motivation and self-esteem and to reduce negative symptoms.

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.weiterlesen
