Abstract
Social cognitive impairments are prominent in schizophrenia. In this study, we administered a novel social skills intervention (Social Cognition and Interaction Lessons; SCIL) in SZ (N=14) to reduce social skills deficits and paranoia using promising therapeutic techniques such as specific social heuristics. Results revealed self-reported improvements in emotion regulation/processing.
