Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is assessing the feasibility of a psychological intervention targeting social cognition problems in people with psychosis. The intervention is a group psychological treatment facilitated by a clinical psychologist. The group therapy takes advantage of audiovisual material and practical exercises to illustrate strategies and thinking styles that may help participants overcome difficulties in social settings.

A second objective of this study is to test a new method to measure social cognition by using portable devices. These devices will be carried by participants in their everyday life and will ask about their social activity levels at random times and record activity levels.
