Abstract:
Cognitive therapy for the treatment of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia is in its infancy. Presented here is an outline of the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of these disabling features of schizophrenia. Examination of possible secondary causes of the negative symptoms, including causes involving dysfunctional attitudes, is followed by a framing of primary negative symptoms in terms of the cognitive model of the influence of thoughts on emotion and behavior. Physiological models of the negative syndrome are incorporated into this cognitive framework. Unique features in the cognitive assessment and treatment of the negative symptoms are outlined. Clinical examples of clients with negative symptoms are provided.
