“…In other studies, patients with CACR showed improvement in work quality and work habit (Lee, 2013), but not work affinity, ability to obtain and maintain a job, or interpersonal relationships (Eack et al, 2009Cavallaro et al, 2009). …”

“…Several studies have demonstrated that high-frequency, computerized cognitive training ameliorates deficits in cognitive flexibility among those with schizophrenia (Bellucci, Glaberman, & Haslam, 2003; Dickinson et al, 2010; Urben et al, 2012). Results on generalization of cognitive gains to clinical and psychosocial improvements are mixed (Cavallaro et al, 2009; Urben et al, 2012). Indeed, most studies that yielded improved behavioral outcomes were confounded by the inclusion of psychotherapeutic intervention, which included practice of specific behavioral strategies to improve psychosocial functioning (Bowie & Gupta, 2013; Wykes et al, 2011).…”

Could training executive function improve treatment outcomes for eating disorders?

Current gold standard treatments for eating disorders (EDs) lack satisfactory efficacy, and traditional psychological treatments do not directly address executive functioning deficits underpinning ED pathology. The goal of this paper is to explore the potential for enhancing ED treatment outcomes by improving executive functioning deficits that have been demonstrated to underlie eating pathology. To achieve our objective, we (1) review existing evidence for executive functioning deficits that underpin EDs and consider the extent to which these deficits could be targeted in neurocognitive training programs, (2) present the evidence for the one ED neurocognitive training program well-studied to date (Cognitive Remediation Therapy), (3) discuss the utility of neurocognitive training programs that have been developed for other psychiatric disorders with similar deficits, and (4) provide suggestions for the future development and research of neurocognitive training programs for EDs. Despite the fact that the body of empirical work on neurocognitive training programs for eating disorders is very small, we conclude that their potential is high given the combined evidence for the role of deficits in executive functioning in EDs, the initial promise of Cognitive Remediation Training, and the success in treating related conditions with neurocognitive training. Based on the evidence to date, it appears that the development and empirical evaluation of neurocognitive training programs for EDs is warranted.

“…In-office computer programs have also been developed for the cognitive rehabilitation of schizophrenia patients. 49,50 Sophisticated combinations of software and hardware enable the use of virtual reality in therapists' offices, which can be used to control the patient's visual, auditory, and even olfactory experiences. Virtual reality has been used by Rizzo in the treatment of attentiondeficit problems 51 and central nervous system dysfunction.…”

Computers can be used to deliver self-guided interventions and to provide access to live therapists at remote locations. These treatment modalities could help overcome barriers to treatment, including cost, availability of therapists, logistics of scheduling and traveling to appointments, stigma, and lack of therapist training in evidence-based treatments (EBTs). EBTs could be delivered at any time in any place to individuals who might otherwise not have access to them, improving public mental health across the United States. In order to fully exploit the opportunities to use computers for mental health care delivery, however, advances need to be made in four domains: (1) research, (2) training, (3) policy, and (4) industry. This article discusses specific challenges (and some possible solutions) to implementing computer-based distance therapy and self-guided treatments in the United States. It lays out both a roadmap and, in each of the four domains, the milestones that need to be met to reach the goal of making EBTs for behavioral health problems available to all Americans.
