Cognitive Therapies
The cognitive therapies that are offered under InSTAR program comprise of cognitive and metacognitive therapies (CBT-p and MCT) for delusions and hallucinations. These therapies help the patients to gain insight into the psychological mechanism of formation and maintenance of delusions and hallucinations and, in turn, lead them to question the beliefs and anomalous experiences. Apart from an adjunct to the pharmacological treatment, the CBT-p and MCT are effective in treatment resistant cases of schizophrenia also.
In addition, a structured cognitive remediation program for schizophrenia patients targeting commonly observed cognitive deficits in these patients is also delivered through our clinics. These cognitive remediation packages can be used in the home-setting with the help of caregivers. These structured therapeutic works are found to be effective and now they are an integral part of the holistic services provided by the schizophrenia clinic.
