“…Social cognitive treatments seem to be more effective on basic process like emotion recognition (already treated in IPT program) than more complex functions like attributional style or social perception. In order to impact higher-order processes, patients need to have ample opportunity for practice of skills until they become fully integrated and least somewhat integrated [22]. RC2S is a computer based program in this way to stay close to difficulties encountered by schizophrenia patients in their daily social life.…”

This article is about specificity of schizophrenia care with the evolution of these last years and the help of Cognitive Remediation to improve the quality of life and the insertion of these patients. First, we describe the criteria of international classifications (DSM V and ICD 10) and the fact that they are not completely the same. To illustrate this limit, we define the frequent case of brief psychosis, it can be an isolate episode in a life or not. Sometimes, the evolution is the chronic illness. Then, the cognitive approach is a new definition of psychotic disorders. The question is how to help these patients to adapt their cognition with the society and how to help them to compensate their deficits. Here, are described more precisely IPT, CRT, RECOS, REHACOM® and RC2S programs with the necessity of a personal accompaniment. Explain them the trouble is essential and depend of the singularity of each subject in his own culture and family history. Randomized studies show that Cognitive Remediation, new medications and psychotherapies are supplementary to cure schizophrenia and psychosis as an illness like any other.

“…Targeted treatments are aimed at specific domains of social cognition, such as social perception, emotion processing, or mentalizing [35]. Of these, affect recognition therapy for improving the processing of emotions is the most widely recognized treatment, and it involves asking participants to correctly identify the emotion being shown in a picture of a face, praising the patient if a correct answer is given [2,12,35].…”

“…This method can also involve "re-teaching" a patient how to differentiate emotions, by given detailed explanations on the meaning of a particular emotion and the context in which it is used, or asking the patient to infer which emotion o thought is being presented based on a specific situation [36,37]. Social perception can be improved with memory oriented techniques that intend to present the patients with different social cues and showing them to recall these cues in everyday life, applying them to the correct scenario [35]. Theory of mind improvement has been achieved by asking patients to verbalize the most likely thoughts and motivations shown by a cartoon character in a set of vignettes [31,35].…”

“…It has been noticed that a healthy social environment and functioning is necessary to achieve recovery and symptom control in these patients, and there are many interventions being used and researched to improve social impairment treatment [20]. Social cognitive interventions are classified as targeted, comprehensive and broad-based therapies, each with a proven effect on improving social performance of individuals, but with still limited success on severe cases [35].…”

Social cognition is a neuropsychological domain of the human psyche, in charge of processing the information about ourselves and the people that surrounds us. This includes recognition of faces and emotions, facial expression, experience sharing, reactions, and inferring people's mental processes. Schizophrenia is the most severe condition in the psychotic disease range, presenting with both positive and negative symptoms. Social cognition is affected in schizophrenic patients, impairing their ability to function properly in society. Recent research has been done in the areas of emotion and face recognition in schizophrenics, with the aim of improving treatment options through various neuropsychiatric approaches. In the medical field, oxytocin has been discovered to be a key molecule in mediating human social performance, and its use is being studied for improving social cognition in schizophrenia. We offer a review and update on the main concepts of social cognition and its disturbances caused by schizophrenia, along with the treatment options available and the direction in which future research is heading.
