This paper outlines reviews on rehabilitation and occupational therapy for patients with schizophrenia, reviews on jumping to conclusions, and our research. In schizophrenia rehabilitation, guidelines recommend family intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, assertive community treatment, and supported employment. Occupational therapy improves psychiatric symptoms, cognitive function, and medication adherence, and it reduces readmission rates and medical costs. Jumping to conclusions in schizophrenia has been associated with social outcomes and psychiatric symptoms, but it has not been fully investigated. This study thus reported an association between jumping to conclusions and frontal lobe function, negative symptoms, and general function. Further investigation of the relationship between jumping to conclusions and social behavior and social function, as well as intervention, are required in the future.
