Cognitive Enhancement Therapy: The Training Manual

by Professor Gerard E. Hogarty, M.S.W. and Dr. Deborah P. Greenwald, Ph.D. and their
accompanying CD-ROM are now available! The Manual describes, step-by-step implementation of
each of the 45 social cognitive group sessions and the 16 graduated, computer assisted exercises
in neurocognitive training.The CET manual can be purchased by completing the printable CET
Manual Order Form, and sending check or money order for $60.00 plus $6.00 shipping and
handling (within the USA) payable to CET Training, LLC to:

CET Training
P.O. Box 11522
Pittsburgh, PA 15238

The CET CD-ROM, which includes session agendas, participant handouts, exercises and
assessments, can be purchased for an additional $25.00 plus shipping and handling at the above
address. (A single facility only needs one CD-ROM. Each CET clinician would want their own
Manual.) Five or more Manuals can be purchased for $55.00 each (plus shipping and handling).

The 433 page CET Manual contains the following components:

Section I – Preparing for CET – This section describes the role of the CET therapist, the
appropriate client population, baseline assessments, the process of coaching and developing
coaching plans, how to form a CET group, and lists the necessary CET materials.

Section II – The Social Cognitive Group Curriculum – This centerpiece of CET describes each of
the 45 CET weekly group sessions, including the homework, the exercise, its feedback and the
education topics that characterize most sessions. All participant handouts are provided on the
CET CD-ROM arranged by session. (Note: Except for the education topic in Session 2, the exercises
are diagnostically non-speci c. If clinicians wish to serve people other than those with
schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, a separate talk for the diagnosis of interest will need to
be created.) Clinical examples of CET interventions are also offered.

Section III – Training in Attention, Memory and Problem Solving – This section describes
computer assisted training in attention, memory and problem solving (3 attention exercises, 7
memory tasks and 6 problem solving exercises). Computer assisted training is conducted with
two participants and a coach and is an effective medium for increasing participant socialization
and building mental stamina. The 2 software packages used in CET for computer assisted
training exercises can be purchased separately. The attention training software originally
developed by Yehuda Ben-Yishay, Ph.D. at New York University Medical Center is no longer
maintained. You can obtain an alternative version at www.altorm.com. The memory and
problem-solving training software can be obtained from Odie Bracy, Ph.D. at his website
www.psychological-software.com/order.html.

The Manual concludes with various appendices that describe an eligibility interview,
assessments of cognitive styles and social cognition, and bibliography.
