| Summary |
"Preface: Schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders are among the most disabling illnesses in all of medicine. While acute psychotic symptoms are manageable by current medication treatments, the persistent deficits in cognition which underlie functional disability remain poorly addressed. Psychotherapeutic treatments remain the mainstay of our efforts in addressing these roadblocks to recovery. The authors of this volume came together with their abiding interests in contributing to this serious treatment gap and in no small measure due to the important influence and mentorship of Gerard E. Hogarty (1935-2006), who pioneered the field of cognitive enhancement in schizophrenia and who continues to inspire our own thinking on the topic. In our decade-long collaborations both as clinicians and researchers we have come to appreciate the substantial advances as well as challenges in understanding cognition, brain plasticity and therapeutic interventions in neuropsychiatry, notably in schizophrenia. We are also optimistic for the advances that the future holds in this field and felt that a summary of the current state of cognitive enhancement in schizophrenia and related disorders would be a valuable contribution to practitioners, educators, and researchers"-- Provided by publisher |
