margret Margret S.H. Harris, MA
Fellow – Psychotic Disorders Program

Margret is a research fellow in the Psychotic Disorders Program where she provides individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to patients in their first episode of psychotic illness as well as psychoeducation services to patient family members. She also conducts diagnostic and clinical assessments in the First Episode Psychosis program, a specialty service of the Psychotic Disorders Program.

Margret’s research interests have focused on investigating cognitive dysfunction, such as response inhibition deficits, in treatment-naive first-episode schizophrenia, psychotic bipolar disorder, and psychotic depression patients. Using oculomotor paradigms, her studies aim to characterize the neurophysiology underlying abnormal patient performance during acute phases of illness and to investigate the effects of antipsychotic medications on cognitive domains after clinical stabilization. More recently, she has been involved in the development of software for the analysis of event-related fMRI data. Her newest research interest focuses on the comparison of CBT and a psychoeducation intervention for the improvement of medication adherence in early schizophrenia.
