Abstract: We examined the effectiveness of the Integrated Psychological Therapy (IPT) on social cognition, social skills and functioning in people diagnosed with `schizophrenia' from the Indian subcontinent, using a single group design with baseline, post and 3-month follow-up assessments. Twenty-nine clinically stable persons diagnosed with SZ were recruited and assessed on specified outcomes measures. They received 16–20 individual sessions of IPT over 2.5–3 months. The content of the IPT was culturally adapted. The first four modules of IPT were delivered. Repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA) for the completers sample (N = 23) indicated significant improvements in social cognition, social skills, functioning and symptoms, which support the feasibility of the IPT in this setting.
