L'évaluation des fonctions neurocognitives dans la schizophrénie : de l'examen complémentaire à la fonction thérapeutique

The authors described psychoeducative functions and psychotherapeutic potential of returning the results of the neurocognitive assessment to the patient. It allows the schizophrenic patient to better understand their illness and the symptoms that affect them daily and even to dedramatize certain beliefs. It offers them the opportunity to put their subjective experience into words and reclaim part of their illness, making it less stigmatizing and, therefore, more acceptable. It can help therapeutic alliance and work on insight; act as mediator between the patient and/or their family and caregiver; and, finally, facilitate access to further cognitive remediation or psychosocial rehabilitation work.
