      abstract = {Integrated Neurocognitive Therapy (INT) is a cognitive  remediation therapy approach. INT is the first treatment  manual comprising all MATRICS areas (Measurement and  Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia).  The NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health, USA)  initiated this MATRICS initiative. MATRICS defines 11  neurocognitive and social cognitive areas of functioning  being relevant for patients with schizophrenia. The  improvement of these areas in a group therapy is the main  goal of INT. INT is based on IPT (Integrated Psychological  Therapy, Roder et al 2010). It is a resource and a recovery  oriented intervention to enhance also therapy motivation  and self-esteem and to reduce negative symptoms. Therapy  focuses especially on group processes and the exercises  augment transfer and generalisation to daily life. As a  meta goal INT intends to amend life quality and the  reintegration of the patients in the community. The  presented manual offers the clinicians a practically  orientated guide for carrying out INT. The techniques and  exercises (partly computer-based) are described in detail.  Case examples point out specific therapeutic situations and  teach the therapist how to cope with complicated group and  individual demands. Assessment for patient selection,  differential indication and therapy control within a  multi-dimensional treatment and rehabilitation system are  discussed. INT was evaluated successfully in an  international randomised multi-centre study. In the  meantime it is implemented in many clinical settings in  German speaking countries. .},
