Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder: The Basics

Dr. Philip Harvey trains on:
What are Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder and what aren’t they? Clinical and research experience vs. the myths and stereotypes that come from the media.
Treatment modalities and efficacy. Challenge the presumption that a schizophrenia/schizoaffective diagnosis is a permanent barrier to safe and appropriate functioning.
Residual memory and accountability (Anosognosia). Insight around: (1) how we can set realistic expectations around IA errors and accountability; (2) what ADA accommodations might be necessary to facilitate higher executive functioning; and (3) ways to safety plan around anosognosia that would make continued adherence to medication regimes and selfcare more likely.
