Summary
This trial is testing a type of talk therapy called CT-R for people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are already on medication. CT-R helps patients focus on their personal goals and activities they enjoy to improve their thoughts and feelings about themselves. The study aims to see if this therapy can help improve their overall mental health and quality of life. Recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R) combines the principles of the recovery movement with cognitive therapy techniques, aimed at helping individuals with schizophrenia improve their motivation and information processing tasks.

Group I: Recovery Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Therapists implement CT-R in weekly sessions for approximately 9 months while supported by a clinical supervisor. Therapists will have completed a supervised CT-R training case prior to the initiation of the randomized controlled trial. CT-R will focus on strengthening aspirations and focusing on activities that can bring about one's desired life. The therapist will use techniques to engage the patient in the adaptive mode, which involves activating cognitions, affects, motivation, and behaviors by engaging the individual in personally meaningful activities.
