Dr. Aaron Beck: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Schizophrenia – Dr. Aaron Beck discusses in detail the protocol he and colleagues developed for CBT treatment of low functioning shcizophrenics (published in 2011 in Archives of General Psychiatry). The group hypothesized that a patient’s negative beliefs about his abilities would have a greater impact on functioning than attentional or memory deficits, or deficits in executive functioning. A protocol was designed which included techniques such as setting very short term goals, engaging in regular “therapy walks,” and incremental success experiences. Dr. Beck supervised over 1500 therapy sessions for the study. Indeed, outcomes demonstrated significant improvements in activity level and functioning, as well as surprising postivie findings related to hallucinations, delusions, attention, memory and exective functioning.
