Read our Schizophrenia research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether combining two types of therapy—cognitive behavioral therapy (which helps you change unhelpful thought patterns) and cognitive remediation (which trains your thinking and memory skills)—works better than either therapy alone for people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. Right now, treatments can help reduce symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, but they don't always help people get back to work, school, or meaningful activities in their communities. This study will test whether combining these two approaches can help you function better and improve your quality of life.
Current treatments for schizophrenia help with symptoms but often leave people unable to return to work, school, or community life. This trial exists because researchers want to know whether combining two different types of therapy—one that addresses unhelpful thoughts and one that strengthens thinking skills—could help people recover and function better in daily life.

You would be randomly assigned to receive one of three combinations of therapy: individual talk therapy plus a sham computer program, group thinking-skills training plus a befriending session, or individual talk therapy plus group thinking-skills training. You would attend sessions for about one hour per week. The trial will measure how you're doing in terms of work, school, relationships, quality of life, and your thinking abilities over time.
