Abstract
The contributions of homework, therapy participation, cognitive insight, and skills acquisition to treatment outcomes in group CBT for schizophrenia were examined. Increased cognitive insight was associated with reduced positive, negative and total symptoms, but not improved psychosocial functioning. Greater participation was associated with increased cognitive insight, reduction in total and negative symptoms, and a trend was found for positive symptoms. Greater homework adherence was associated with greater skill acquisition, but skill acquisition was not significantly associated with change in any outcome. The therapeutic factors contributing to change in CBT for schizophrenia appear different for symptom and psychosocial functioning outcomes.
