SAMHSA 2011 Science and Service Award Winner

Up until now the significant advances in the treatment of severe mental illness have been in the development of medications that address the “positive” symptoms of Schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. However, medications do not fully address the problems of “negative” symptoms that serve to keep consumers from achieving the vocational, educational and social goals they desire. These negative symptoms manifest as problems with processing information, memory, motivation, and accurately grasping social cues and roles. CET is a cognitive remediation program, based on new research into neuroplasticity.

Presenter: Ray Gonzalez, LISW-S, ACSW
