{"title":"Enhancing work life through social cognition: the effect of SCIT in bipolar disorder.","authors":"Zeynep Anaforoglu Bikmaz, Zeynep Mackali, Sibel Cakir","doi":"10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1470191","DOIUrl":"10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1470191","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of social cognition and interaction therapy (SCIT) in improving occupational functioning in individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder I (BD-I). The effects of SCIT intervention with standard treatment methods were investigated on social cognition and functioning effects, which are often negatively affected in patients with BD-I.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The research involved 28 participants, allocated into two groups: An experimental group (<i>n</i> = 12) receiving SCIT for 8 weeks alongside standard treatments (pharmacotherapy and psychiatric interviews), and a control group (<i>n</i> = 16) undergoing standard treatment without additional interventions. Outcome measures were assessed using a suite of tools, including the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Eyes Test (ET), Metacognition Scale (MCI), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illnesses (ISMI), and Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST). Given the small sample size, non-parametric tests were employed for data analysis.

Due to the limited scope of existing studies, this review focuses on Swedish and English.

More research is needed to explore attitudes toward, usage of, and the consequences of neo- and nonbinary pronouns across a wide range of languages. Moreover, it is crucial to investigate the politicized polarization surrounding these reforms to better understand when and why people (do not) use nonbinary pronouns and the broader implications of these pronouns for gender conceptualization in the future. This review is structured as follows: I will first describe the general function of pronouns and discuss the interplay between language, gender, and cognition in relation to pronouns. Then, I will examine the implementation of gender-inclusive pronouns in Swedish and English, the dual nature of many gender-inclusive pronouns, and how this duality influences attitudes and usage.
