Severe and persistent mental health disorders are associated with impairments in cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Some of these disorders involve cognitive challenges that are likely to negatively affect quality of life. In this context, the early identification of cognitive difficulties and intervention through cognitive remediation become priority therapeutic targets to facilitate individual rehabilitation. From this perspective, the present study aims to determine the relevance of a personalized cognitive remediation program developed by neuropsychologists at Pierre-Janet Hospital, called RECAMEX, to guide its sustainable adoption and to support its implementation in other clinical settings.

Feasibility will be assessed using the attrition rate, with rates above 30% indicating feasibility concerns.
Timeframe: Data will be collected at each measurement time point : T0 (baseline assessment), T1 (pre-intervention assessment), T2 (1 week post-intervention assessment), and T3 (three-month post-intervention follow-up assessment).
Program acceptability will be evaluated by assessing good therapeutic alliance. (Working Alliance Inventory Short Form (WAI-S)
Timeframe: Data will be collected at each measurement time point : T0 (baseline assessment), T1 (pre-intervention assessment), T2 (1 week post-intervention assessment), and T3 (three-month post-intervention follow-up assessment).
The increase in neurocognitive scores between T1 and T2 is expected to be greater than the change observed between T0 and T1. (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT))
Timeframe: Data will be collected at each measurement time point : T0 (baseline assessment), T1 (pre-intervention assessment), T2 (1 week post-intervention assessment), and T3 (three-month post-intervention follow-up assessment).
Program acceptability will be evaluated by assessing good treatment adherence. (Treatment Adherence Perception Questionnaire (TAPQ)).
Timeframe: Data will be collected at each measurement time point : T0 (baseline assessment), T1 (pre-intervention assessment), T2 (1 week post-intervention assessment), and T3 (three-month post-intervention follow-up assessment).
The increase in neurocognitive scores between T1 and T2 is expected to be greater than the change observed between T0 and T1. (the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB)).
Timeframe: Data will be collected at each measurement time point : T0 (baseline assessment), T1 (pre-intervention assessment), T2 (1 week post-intervention assessment), and T3 (three-month post-intervention follow-up assessment).
