 Approximately 48 participants with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders will be randomized into one of two conditions: 1 a 20 to 24 session manualized social cognition interaction training group SCIT, or 2 wait-list control. Pre-and post-group therapy assessments of symptoms, social cognition, basic cognition, and community function will be conducted. Data obtained from this study will allow us to determine the efficacy of SCIT training in improving symptom, cognitive, and functional measures.
