Summary

The present paper deals with computer based training approaches in psychiatric rehabilitation. First an overview of programs is presented, which are currently available on the software market in Germany and appear suitable for the training of patients with information processing (including sensorimotor) deficits. Then a description follows dealing with a clinical setting which may serve to illustrate how computer based cognitive training can be organized in a group format. Finally a couple of clinical studies which have aimed to determine the efficacy of PC based training programs in schizophrenic patients are briefly reviewed.
