Our research focuses on the psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery of people with long-term mental disorders such as schizophrenia and other psychoses and bipolar disorder. Over the last 20 years, we have worked on the clinical, neurocognitive, social cognition and social functioning assessment of this group of people with the aim of analysing the main deficits and implementing appropriate intervention programmes for the improvement of psychosocial functioning. These assessments and interventions aim to improve the process of psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery of people with these difficulties.
