Cognitive Remediation in Psychiatry
was started in 1998 in order to provide a forum for people interested in treating cognitive disorders, to present their
research and clinical initiatives. Our goal is the education of mental health professionals about different approaches
to treating cognitive deficits, how cognitive deficits can impact everyday functioning, the factors that influence a positive
response to cognitive remediation, and how to provide cognitive remediation to different psychiatric populations. We welcome
you to our family of researchers, clinicians, policymakers and advocates, and hope that through participating you will join
the mission of addressing cognitive health in people affected by mental illness.
