Study Summary

This study will evaluate whether oxytocin will facilitate the learning of social cognitive skills in schizophrenia patients who receive 12 sessions of Social Cognitive Skills Training (SCST). The primary hypothesis is that schizophrenia subjects who are treated with oxytocin will demonstrate greater improvements in a summary measure of social cognition than subjects treated with placebo over the course of SCST.

Primary Outcome

We will assess emotion management, emotion perception, social context processing/social perception, theory of mind, attributional bias, and empathic accuracy. The primary summary measure for each test will be mean-centered and standardized to create a Z-score that will be averaged to create a single composite score for social cognition, serving as the primary outcome measure. Parallel follow-up analyses will be conducted on individual components to determine which measures are most affected by t
