To improve the prognosis part of the article. I found a better source that talks about how some indicators for Schizotypy/Schizotypal Personality disorder can be used to better diagnose Schizophrenic spectrum disorders. We can use this article to better illustrate how Schizotypy can be used as a sign for the beginning stages of Schizophrenic spectrum disorders. We will do this by describing the results from the articles study better displaying the affects of the disorder and how it may differ between genders.

This therapy uses metacognition to help people develop self-soothing habits. The addition of
