Summary

This study tests whether a 45-minute session of viewing visual illusions with a partner can improve social cognition in people with psychotic disorders. Social cognition is the ability to understand what others think or feel. Sixty participants will be guided through illusion boxes, discuss their perspectives, and swap positions. Researchers will measure changes in social understanding immediately and after one month.
