The effectiveness of cognitive enhancement therapy in a community-based program

Abstract

The following paper is the result of a semester-long program evaluation course at Spalding University, located in Louisville, Kentucky. During the course, the students were connected to Bridgehaven, a community based psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery program, also located in Louisville, Kentucky. The researchers of this project studied the long-term effectiveness of its Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (CET) program. Based on the data, the results did not yield significant results. However, this is potentially due to the low sample size and incomplete data set. In lieu of this, the researchers offered some recommendations to improve the collection of client information and possible future research.
