Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating a scale to measure how good clinicians are at helping people with severe mental illnesses using a program called Illness Management and Recovery (IMR).
- Experts came together to make the scale, which went through many changes and revisions, eventually becoming the IMR Treatment Integrity Scale (IT-IS).
- The IT-IS proved to be a strong tool for evaluating clinician performance, showing it works well in different situations, but more research is needed to make it even better.
Although negative symptoms are a barrier to recovery from schizophrenia, little is understood about the psychological processes that reinforce and sustain them. To explore this issue, this study used structural equation modeling to test whether the impact of social withdrawal and emotion recognition deficits upon negative symptoms is mediated by the richness or poverty of personal narratives. The participants were 99 adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Little is known about how stable self-stigma is and whether it is linked over time with related constructs such as discrimination experiences and psychological distress.
Methods: Stereotype endorsement and discrimination experiences were assessed using the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale and psychological distress was assessed using the Emotional Discomfort component of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, at three points in time across 1 year.
