Abstract

Cognitive impairment is pervasive in schizophrenia and is a major cause of poor functioning and caregiver burden. However, there are few treatments specifically aimed at helping families cope with a relative's cognitive difficulties and reducing the effects of cognitive impairments on the client's daily functioning. Family‐directed cognitive adaptation (FCA) is a 16‐session treatment developed to address this need. In this article, we provide a rationale for the development of FCA, describe the program itself, and summarize a pilot study aimed at evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of the treatment. We conclude with a case example of a family who participated in the program. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol: In Session 65: 1–14, 2009.
