简要总结
The goal in this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive remediation program that was designed specifically to address the concerns related to cognitive difficulties that are often reported among women in the menopausal transition. This cognitive remediation program has been created to provide our clients with an opportunity to learn more about the relation between menopause and cognitive function, to learn new strategies to enhance thinking skills (e.g., memory, attention) and to hear about lifestyle changes that are known to have a beneficial effect on mental functioning.
