Figure 2 | Algorithm for the evaluation and treatment of social cognitive impairments. If patient history or clinical presentation indicates social cognitive dysfunction, each of the four domains should be assessed with at least one measure. Results of these assessments should be supplemented with formal clinical observation. If specific social cognitive deficits are identified, a more comprehensive assessment that focuses on the domain(s) in question should be conducted. Before recommendations for treatment can be made, establishing the specificity of any impairments, particularly whether the difficulties reflect a primary social cognitive deficit or a secondary consequence of broader neurocognitive impairment, is critical. Upon completion of treatment, follow-up should focus on community integration and mental health.
