[Leader: 여혜원 연구원] 1/2026 ~ 12/2026

This study, conducted in collaboration with Wesleyan University, presents a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effectiveness of social cognitive interventions (SCIs) for individuals across the schizophrenia spectrum — from clinical high risk (CHR/UHR) and first-episode psychosis (FEP) to chronic stages. A key contribution of this work is its expanded target population, extending beyond chronic schizophrenia to include earlier phases of illness. Outcomes of primary focus include social cognition and social functioning, with the aim of informing evidence-based, stage-sensitive treatment approaches for psychotic disorders.
