Schizophrenia, recovery and the self: An introduction to the special issue on metacognition. Schizophrenia Research: Cognition, 100167. 10.1016/j.scog.2019.1001672215-0013https://hdl.handle.net/1805/22301In this special issue, work is presented linking metacognition among persons with schizophrenia with a range of psychosocial outcomes including vocational functioning, empathy, motivation, self-evaluation, and other cognitive functions. This overview will highlight how these works allow for the quantitative study of processes which underpin alterations in self-experience in schizophrenia, which in turn allows self-experience to be studied as part of a larger set of brain-based and social phenomena whose interaction influences the trajectory of one's life and illness. We explore the hypothesis that metacognitive capacity, as a node in a larger biopsychosocial network, may be accessible by psychosocial treatment and, if successfully targeted, may disrupt the processes which perpetuate disability. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalMetacognitionRecoverySchizophreniaRehabilitationNeurocognitionInsightArticle
