Brief Summary:
This study will compare Cognitive Adaptation Training CAT to minimal schizophrenia treatment This study will also determine whether the intensity of CAT can be reduced and still provide benefits to patients with schizophrenia

Many schizophrenia patients have serious difficulties that affect their quality of life Cognitive Adaptation Training CAT may improve adaptive functioning quality of life and rates of relapse in schizophrenia patients CAT which involves compensatory strategies or environmental supports is tailored to each individual and is based on executive functioning levels and other factors
Participants are randomly assigned to CAT Minimal Environmental Supports MES or treatment as usual for 2 years Participants receiving CAT will have a trained therapist make weekly visits to their home for 9 months Over the following 3 months the frequency of CAT visits will be slowly reduced to once a month For the remaining 12 months of treatment patients receive CAT only once a month
Participants assigned to the MES group receive a generic set of supplies and equipment calendar alarm clock watch bus passes etc at the beginning of the 2-year period Each month the supplies are replenished as necessary during the patients scheduled clinic visit
In all groups assessments of adaptive function and quality of life occur at study start and at 3 6 9 18 and 24 months
