Abstract: Early identification and intervention programs for children and adolescents at risk for Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive remediation, psychoeducation, social skills training, family supportive services and other psychosocial interventions. Early intervention programs aim to prevent a transition to psychosis, to promote supportive family communication, to provide treatment for comorbid disorders and prodromal symptoms and to facilitate positive developmental outcomes. The interaction effects and the impact of combining psychosocial interventions on the long-term outcome of at risk children and adolescents and those with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder have not been thoroughly investigated. This review summarizes the gaps in the literature that should be addressed in order to inform clinical practice.
