    Abstract

    Integrated Psychological Therapy (IPT) is a structured intervention program that prescribes steps to remediate cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions that are characteristic of the psychopathology of schizophrenia. Evaluative studies of IPT indicated that the program improved schizophrenic patients' elementary cognitive processes such as attention, abstraction, and concept formation but that patients' performance was still below the normal range. The clinical utility of IPT will depend on studies that document the hierarchical generalization of improvements from the cognitive to the social and symptomatic levels of functioning.
