Abstract

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) has been the psychological intervention recommended for the treatment of psychosis for the past two decades. However, benefits from and access to CBTp are limited. Responses to these issues have included the targeting of CBTp at single symptoms and the delivery of CBT-informed interventions by briefly trained therapists. We sought to combine these approaches by drawing upon a wider workforce of therapists to deliver a pathway of interventions for distressing voices.

This study was an uncontrolled feasibility study evaluating a pathway of CBT-informed interventions offered to psychosis patients who were distressed by hearing voices. The evaluation of outcomes focused on recruitment, retention, potential for effectiveness and safety.
