Abstract
Background: People with schizophrenia experience a change especially in the cognitive aspect, and therefore require immediate intervention to improve their cognitive and other aspects. Cognitive remediation is a program that has been developed with promising results. Objective: to review the literature on outcomes in general from the provision of cognitive remediation in people with schizophrenia.Method: Searching relevant literature on relevant databases, i.e., Pubmed, Ebsco, Cochrane, JSTOR, and the Google Scholar search engine, using keywords: cognitive remediation, schizophrenia, therapy.Result: Taken from reviewing 21 relevant articles. Cognitive remediation affects cognitive function, functional ability and problem-solving, social skill and cognition, clinical symptoms, neural outcome, quality of life, self-esteem, and cost-utility analysis.Conclusions: Common outcomes in CRT (Cognitive Remediation Therapy) administration in people with schizophrenia have been identified. Improvement of cognitive function was defined to be the most commonly measured outcome in the study.

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) defines mental disorders as "clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndromes or patterns that occur individually and is associated with current pressure or disability or with significantly increased risk of death, pain, disability, or significant loss of freedom."

Summary
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) defines mental disorders as "clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndromes or patterns that occur individually and is associated with current pressure (e.g., pain symptoms) or disability (e.g., decrease in one or more important function areas) or with significantly increased risk of death, pain, disability, or significant loss of freedom." APA mentions general criteria for diagnosing mental disorders, including dissatisfaction with one's characteristics, abilities, and achievements; unsatisfactory relationship; dissatisfaction with one's place in the world; not effectively overcome life events; and lack of personal growth. The schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders include schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders, and schizotypal (personality) disorder. They are defined by abnormalities in one or more of the following five domains: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking (speech), grossly disorganized or abnormal motor behavior (including catatonia), and negative symptoms (Birx et al, 2011). Current research efforts seek to link genetic findings to clinical and biological phenotypes. Objective: to review the literature on outcomes in general from the provision of cognitive remediation in people with schizophrenia. Cognitive remediation affects cognitive function, functional ability and problem-solving, social skill and cognition, clinical symptoms, neural outcome, quality of life, self-esteem, and cost-utility analysis. Conclusions: Common outcomes in CRT (Cognitive Remediation Therapy) administration in people with schizophrenia have been identified. Improvement of cognitive function was defined to be the most commonly measured outcome in the study
