Book on neurocognition, social cognition and metacognition in psychosis
Synopsis of the book on neurocognition, social cognition and metacognition in psychosis
This book, published under the label of Ediciones Pirámide and signed by Dr. Carlos Rebolleda Gil, is part of the already very numerous empirical evidence accumulated over the last few decades that shows that people who present some diagnosis within the spectrum of psychosis, in general, present deficits at the neurocognitive level, in social cognition and in metacognition.
Neurocognition
Neurocognition is understood as a set of relevant functions such as attention, memory, executive functions, processing speed, etc.; social cognition, as the cognitive processes involved in how people think about themselves, other people, social situations and interactions; and metacognition, as the ability of the individual to reflect on his or her own mental processes, are key processes that have a decisive influence on functional capacity, psychosocial functioning and quality of life.
It is currently known that these deficits, along with other problems, have a decisive influence on the lives of people diagnosed with psychosis and, because of this, they are important objectives to evaluate and intervene in the recovery processes that they carry out.
Apart from all those people who may have an interest in the subject, this book, above all, is aimed at mental health professionals who, in one way or another, intervene with people diagnosed with psychotic disorder and are helping them in their recovery processes.
It is intended to be a simple manual in which the main definitions are presented, the deficits that are usually located within each area, the instruments that are generally used for their evaluation and, finally, the techniques, strategies or programs that are most commonly used to address these problems.
The reader is urged to try to leave aside the idea that these areas can only and exclusively be addressed by professionals specialized in neuropsychology and, in turn, try to make a reflective reading trying to see the possible similarities between what is exposed and the difficulties that are usually found in the people they serve.
On the other hand, it would also be useful to reflect on the extent to which, from the rehabilitative perspective that these professionals possess, some of the evaluations or interventions that are exposed in the process of recovery of these people can be useful.
