Description

People with serious mental illnesses, like schizophrenia spectrum and persistent affective disorders, typically experience a decline in cognitive skills that negatively impact daily functioning. Cognitive remediation (CR) is currently considered the most effective way to address these deficits. This presentation will provide a roadmap for starting a cognitive remediation program in a mental health treatment setting. The discussion will focus on the systems and clinician-level supports required to implement a CR program.

Alice Medalia, PhD

Dr. Medalia is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Director of Cognitive Health Services for the New York State Office of Mental Health. She is also a member of the Columbia University Academy of Clinical Excellence and the founding director of the Lieber Recovery and Rehabilitation Clinic, a comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation program for individuals with persistent mental illness. Professor Medalia has been instrumental in raising awareness about the need to address cognition as a central aspect of health related to functional outcomes. She brought the concept of Cognitive Health to the field of Psychiatry. She identified the need for the treatment of cognition to embrace an understanding of how motivation and learning interact. She developed the widely used Neuropsychological & Educational Approach to Remediation (NEAR) model of cognitive remediation, which has been disseminated worldwide. In 1998, she started Cognitive Remediation in Psychiatry, the largest annual international conference on cognitive health for people with psychiatric disorders. Professor Medalia is the founding director of www.teachrecovery.com, a website devoted to facilitating the training of mental health professionals in cognitive health interventions for people with psychiatric disorders. She is a NIMH-funded researcher, prolific author, and the recipient of numerous awards for outstanding leadership in psychiatric rehabilitation.
