CET facilitates the process of acquiring social wisdom and enhancing neurocognitionHogarty, G.E. & Greenwald, D.P. (2006). Cognitive Enhancement Therapy: The Training Manual. University of Pittsburgh.

cognitive enhancement therapy (CET)• SAMHSA recognized Evidence Based

Practice • helps individuals recovering from

schizophrenia and other major mental disabilities

• improve their processing speed, cognition (attention, memory, and problem-solving)

• implications for becoming socially wise and vocationally effective

Page 6: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

evidence for CET• CET has an extensive research base with

individuals with multiple psychiatric conditions. • designed as a one-time treatment that results in

improved functioning continuing after graduation• has been tested in First Episode Programs and

with children and adults• data suggests that CET is most effective when

given in the broader context of psychosocial rehabilitation

Page 8: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

rationale for CET• there are effective medications to control

the positive symptoms of mental illness• however, many individuals still suffer from

cognitive impairments that limits their functional, social, and vocational skills

• cognitive domains most impacted in schizophrenia include memory, attention, reasoning, problem-solving, and social cognition

Page 9: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

cognitive impairment is a core feature of schizophrenia –strongly related to functioning in areas such as work, social relationships, and independent living

CET engages the participant in a learning activity to enhance the neurocognitive skills relevant to overall recovery goals.

cognitive drills enhance cognitive functioning

Page 11: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

cognitive functioning is a robust predictor of response to psychiatric rehabilitation

including outcomes such as work, social skills, and self-care

Page 12: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

neuroplasticity & CET• alterations in neuroplasticity are

hypothesized to underpin cognitive deficits• neuroplasticity may offer an avenue

towards cognitive remediation • principles to consider in designing

remediation interventions:o ensuring sufficient intensity and duration of

remediation programs, o "bottom-up" training that proceeds from simple to

complex cognitive processes, o individual tailoring of remediation regimens

Page 13: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

what does it do?CET is designed to improve neurocognitive abilities such as:

o attention, oworking memory, o cognitive flexibility o planning, and o executive functioning

all of which lead to improved social and vocational functioning

prescription of exercises• recommend to conduct therapy in Automated Mode

– cycles through the tasks vs completing one task at a time

• patients want to focus on what they like and avoid their weaknesses

• skills learned from the completion of one exercise in one task will be used in the successful completion of other exercises in other tasks

• can make a custom exercise list• or complete exercises randomly

“One must keep in mind that cognitive rehabilitation is not a

process that can occur overnight, even when one is using high tech

software and computers.”

Neuropsychonline, 2017

• who will work with the patient?

• where do you do the work?

Page 34: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

coaching

• important to go through the same experience as the patient– gain empathy

– learn or reinforce skills that have to be taught to the client

Page 35: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

a note about coaching

It’s nice when someone remembers every little detail

about you, not because you keep reminding them but because they actually pay attention.

Page 36: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

therapist vs. peer coach• at minimum recommend therapists as coaches

as they are better suited to:– help keep patient on task– help understand tasks and exercises– help patient make gradual, reasonable changes– help process feelings of frustration– provide supportive feedback vs confrontational

feedback– model positive interactions that may not happen with

peer coaches– better understanding/tolerance for differing patient

cognitive styles

Page 37: brain games - Arizona State University · memory • series of memory skills training exercises that address different avenues and modalities of information intake, storage, and recall

optimal physical setup• need to have adequate quiet space to work on

the cognitive exercises– exercises put increased cognitive demands that can

lead to frustration in a distracting environment• need to have the correct technical equipment

– speakers to have appropriate sound discrimination on auditory attention skill exercises

– big enough screens to adequately see stimulus material

– patients need to have access to a home/community computer to practice

AZ Covered Services GuideII. B. 2. Cognitive Rehabilitation General Information

General Definition The facilitation of recovery from cognitive impairments in order to achieve independence or the highest level of functioning possible. Goals of cognitive rehabilitation include: relearning of targeted mental abilities, strengthening of intact functions, relearning of social interaction skills, substitution of new skills to replace lost functioning and controlling the emotional aspects of one’s functioning. Treatment may include techniques such as auditory and visual attention directed tasks, memory training, training in the use of assistive technology, and anger management. Training can be done through exercises or stimulation, cognitive neuropsychology, cognitive psychology and behavioral psychology, or a holistic approach to include social and emotional aspects. Training is generally provided one-on-one and is highly customized to each individual’s strengths, skills, and needs.
