- Title
Beyond Antipsychotics: Pharmacologically-Augmented Cognitive Therapies (PACTs) for Schizophrenia.
- Authors
Swerdlow, Neal R
- Abstract
The article reports on the potentials of pharmacologically-augmented cognitive therapies (PACTs) to reduce symptoms and restore function in schizophrenia. It mentions that engaging healthy neural systems to learn adaptive cognitive and behavioral strategies in PACTs may reduce and restore function in schizophrenia. Moreover, the use of PACTs has shifted scientific focus and allows neural resources to become the therapeutic targets for drug development.
