“…39,40 Penn and colleagues 41 have also recently developed a targeted treatment called Social Cognitive and Interpersonal Treatment (SCIT) that is a 3-phase, 18-session group intervention to address difficulties in emotion perception, attributional bias and theory of mind with promising early results. 42,43 Although exciting, this area of treatment is in its infancy, and there is much work required to develop a consensus on how to define social cognition, a wider focus on targeting social cognition deficits, which techniques may be most effective and the best assessment instruments for such clinical trials.…”

49Background: Although cognition has been studied extensively among patients with schizophrenia, social cognition has only recently emerged as an area of interest. The objective of the current study was to use structural equation modelling to test the hypothesis that the relation between cognitive performance and social function is mediated by patients' social cognitive abilities. Methods: We assessed participants who met criteria for a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder, with equal distribution among first-and multi-episode participants, and nonpsychiatric controls on a range of measures within each of the domains of cognition, social cognition and social function. Results: Using structural equation modelling, we derived a model that explained 79.7% of the variance in social function and demonstrated that the link between cognition and social function was fully mediated by social cognition. Limitations: A limitation of this study is that the measures contributing to the structural equation modelling analysis were obtained at the same point in time. Thus, the temporal order of causation suggested by Model 2 remains theoretically specified. Conclusion: This study provides some first steps in understanding the complex relation between cognition and social function. Such a relation has potential implications for the design of remediation strategies.

“…This program targets several components of social cognition, including emotion recognition, theory of mind, and attributions as well as social interaction skills. In a pilot study, Penn et al (2005) found that SCIT was associated with improved performance in ToM and attributional style in a sample of inpatients with psychosis. Combs et al (2007) demonstrated that individuals with psychosis who received SCIT showed greater improvement in emotion perception, ToM, attributions, and social functioning than individuals who participated in a coping skills group.…”

The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and utility of a group-based cognitive behavioral intervention to improve social-cognitive functioning in adults with high-functioning autism (HFA). We modified the treatment manual of a previously validated intervention, Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT), for optimal use with HFA adults (SCIT-A). We then conducted a pilot study to compare SCIT-A (n = 6) to treatment as usual (TAU) (n = 5) for adults with HFA. Feasibility was supported; attendance was high (92%) and satisfaction reports were primarily positive. Participants in SCIT-A showed significant improvement in theory-of-mind skills and trend level improvements in social communication skills; TAU participants did not show these improvements. Findings indicate SCIT-A shows promise as an intervention for adults with HFA.

“…Essa busca tinha por finalidade encontrar estudos sobre intervenções psicoterápicas utilizando conceitos sociocognitivos e resultou em 11 artigos 2,6-15 , dos quais um foi excluído por não se tratar de um ensaio clínico 7 . Outros 10 manuscritos 3,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] foram selecionados a partir da leitura dos artigos acima, pois pareciam preencher os critérios de inclusão do tema a ser discutido. Após a leitura deles, dois foram descartados por não se tratarem de ensaios clínicos 22,24 e outro 23 , por não envolver diretamente CS.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Revisar sistematicamente a literatura sobre programas psicoterapêuticos para a esquizofrenia com enfoque em CS, cujos métodos envolvam estratégias metacognitivas. Mé todos: Foi realizada uma busca na base MedLine, por trabalhos publicados em inglês ou português utilizando a frase "Social cognition" AND "Schizophrenia" [Mesh] AND "Psychotherapy" [Mesh] e os limitadores "Humans", "Clinical Trial", "Meta-Analysis" e "Randomized Controlled Trial". Adicionalmente, foram elaborados critérios de inclusão para selecionar os trabalhos com abordagem metacognitiva. Resultados: Dezessete estudos foram selecionados, abrangendo essencialmente programas de reconhecimento do afeto facial e de emoções, Teoria da Mente (ToM), imitação e tomada de perspectiva em situações sociais. Conclusão: A maior parte dos estudos mostrou que seus programas são eficazes para melhorar medidas de psicopatologia, CS e funcionamento social. Futuras pesquisas deverão esclarecer sobre segurança, especificidade e durabilidade dessas intervenções. ABSTRACTObjective: To review systematically the literature on psychotherapeutic programs focusing on SC, designed to schizophrenia, which methods include metacognitive strategies. Me thods: A search on MedLine base for papers published in English or Portuguese has been performed, using the phrase "Social cognition" AND "Schizophrenia" [Mesh] AND "Psychotherapy" [Mesh] and the limits " Humans", "Clinical Trial", "Meta-Analysis" and "Randomized Controlled Trial". Additionally, inclusion criteria have been formulated in order to select papers with metacognitive approach. Results: Seventeen articles have been selected, which comprised essentially facial emotion recognition, emotion recognition, Theory of Mind (ToM), imitation and perspective taking in social situations. Conclusion: The great majority of papers have shown that their programs are effective in improving measures of psychopathology, SC and social functioning. Future research might clarify about safety, specificity and durability of such interventions.
