Evaluating a Novel Mobile App for Social Cognition in Psychosis
Schizophrenia; PsychosisTo develop, and then evaluate a mobile phone app to deliver therapy homework activities between group sessions (social cognition intervention) in individuals with psychosis. The investigators are interested in whether offering homework via an app is a) feasible, and b) acceptable. The investigators will also assess whether there is an initial indication that offering homework via the app improves outcomes following the group therapy.

Mobile CBT for Negative Symptoms
SchizophreniaSchizoaffective DisorderThis randomized controlled clinical trial will test a combined group contact plus mobile CBT-informed skills training intervention targeting defeatist attitudes in consumers with schizophrenia in comparison to a supportive contact control group in order to change motivational negative symptoms linked to defeatist attitudes.

Exploratory Study of the Digital Therapeutics CT-155 in the Treatment of People With Schizophrenia...
SchizophreniaCT-155 is a novel prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) being developed by Click Therapeutics, Inc. (Click) and Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) using an interactive, software-based intervention to treat schizophrenia

Improving Care and Reducing Cost Study
SchizophreniaSchizoaffective Disorder1 moreThe goal of the Improving Care and Reducing Cost (ICRC) Program, is to improve disease management and the overall process of care in treating the chronic illness schizophrenia in order to reduce ER visits and hospital days while providing better care, better health and increased patient satisfaction. This will be done by fostering innovation in the use of technology and by training and deploying a new cadre of personnel in the behavioral health field: Mental Health/Health Technology (MH/HT) Case Managers.

Integrated Coping and Awareness Training
SchizophreniaIntegrated Coping and Awareness Therapy is a novel therapeutic intervention combining strategies to improve stress reactivity and increase meaningful coping, as well as a range of possible proximal (e.g. immune indices of stress reactivity, symptom severity) and distal measures (e.g. relapse, quality of life).

Mobile-Assisted Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia
SchizophreniaSchizoaffective DisorderThis clinical trial will test a combined group therapy plus mobile cognitive behavioral therapy intervention targeting defeatist attitudes in consumers with schizophrenia in order to change motivational negative symptoms linked to defeatist attitudes.

Remediation of Auditory Recognition in Schizophrenia With tDCS
SchizophreniaSchizoaffective DisorderThe purpose of this study is to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), when combined with different forms of computer based training, improves the ability to discriminate small differences between sounds in people diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.

Mediators and Moderators of Treatment Outcome in Recent-Onset Psychosis
SchizophreniaSchizoaffective Disorder3 moreMultifamily group psychoeducation [MFG] and group cognitive behavioral therapy [GCBT] are evidence-based treatments for first episode psychosis. However, like all treatments for psychotic disorders, neither MFG nor GCBT are perfect-some individuals who receive these interventions still experience a worsening of psychotic symptoms. Clarifying the mechanisms through which these interventions produce their clinical benefits and identifying the factors that may maximize an individual's response to MFG and GCBT could improve the clinical benefits facilitated by these two interventions.

Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Individuals With Schizophrenia
SchizophreniaThis research is being done to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve certain mental abilities and alter functional connectivity in individuals with Schizophrenia. In this research, a 9 volt battery is used to deliver very weak electrical current to the surface of the scalp while participants complete cognitive tasks. Participants also receive a brain scan before and after stimulation. Our aim is to determine if tDCS can improve mental abilities in individuals with schizophrenia.
