newline2. Aim and objectives newline2.1 Statement of the problem newline Effectiveness of cognitive pragmatic treatment on communication newlineand related functions among adults with schizophrenia. newline2.2 Aim newline The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of CPT in newlineimproving communicative-pragmatic skills, cognitive and theory of mind newlinefunctioning and quality of life of individuals with schizophrenia with newlinereduction in symptom severity. newline2.3 Objectives newline1. To determine the effectiveness and stability of CPT in resolving the newlinecommunicative-pragmatic impairments among adults with schizophrenia newlinein the experimental group and study the effect of demographic variables newlineof age, gender and duration of illness on treatment effectiveness. newline2. To determine the effectiveness and stability of CPT on cognitive newlinefunctions and ToM functioning among adults with schizophrenia in the newlineexperimental group and study the effect of demographic variables of age, newlinegender and duration of illness on treatment effectiveness. newline3. To determine the effectiveness and stability of CPT in reducing newlinesymptom severity and improving the quality of life of adults with newlineschizophrenia in the experimental group and study the effect of newlinedemographic variables of age, gender and duration of illness on newlinetreatment effectiveness. newline2.4 Hypothesis newlineH1: There will be a significant difference in the post-test and follow-up newlinephase of cognitive pragmatic treatment on communicative-pragmatic newlineabilities among adults with schizophrenia between the control and newlineexperimental groups. newlineH2: There will be a significant difference in the post-test and follow-up newlinephase of cognitive pragmatic treatment on and cognitive functions and newlinetheory of mind functioning among adults with schizophrenia between the newlinecontrol and experimental groups. newline2 newlineH3: There will be a significant difference in the post-test and follow-up newlinephase of cognitive pragmatic treatment in reduction of symptom severity newlineand improvement of quality of life among adults with schizophrenia newlinebetween the control and experimental gro
