Metacognition as a Focus for the Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia
By Paul Lysaker, PhD
Metacognition refers to the capacity to think about thinking, both one's own mental states and the mental states of others. This talk explores how deficits in metacognition may lie near the heart of psychosocial impairments for persons with schizophrenia. Current research in this area is reviewed. Means for assessing metacognitive capacity are presented along with methods for tailoring interventions in psychotherapy which can promote recovery. Case illustrations are offered.
Learning Objectives: After attending this program
in full,
1) Participants will be able to conceptualize and explain the roles that deficits in metacognition play in psychosocial dysfunction in schizophrenia.
2) Participants will be better able to assess different forms of metacognitive deficits in psychotherapy patients.
3) Participants will be better able to select interventions
derived from integrative psychotherapy to address metacognitive
deficits in their daily practice.
Schedule and Format:
The meeting will begin promptly at 7:30 pm with the introduction of
Dr. Lysaker. His presentation
will be followed by group discussion.
About the Presenter:

New Paradigms for Treating Couples and Individuals
