Brief Summary: People with a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis often experience distressing worries or beliefs about others intending to cause them harm also known as paranoia Paranoid beliefs are associated with significant distress and disruption to the persons life This results in high use of services and costs to mental health providers

The National Institute of Clinical Excellence recommends that cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis CBTp is offered to everybody with a schizophrenia spectrum psychosis The latest meta analyses report improved outcomes and reduced inpatient stays following CBTp making it a cost effective intervention

Although improved outcomes have been obtained by therapies CBTp has only small to moderate effects on paranoid beliefs Further training therapists to competently deliver CBTp is intensive expensive and takes up to a year CBTp is therefore not widely available to service users resulting in inequalities in access to care

The investigators are seeking to improve outcomes and accessibility of CBTp for people with distressing paranoid beliefs The proposed research programme aims to conduct a feasibility study of a brief therapeutic intervention aimed at targeting and improving anxiety processes that are causally implicated in paranoia Freeman et al 2015

The investigators have preliminary evidence indicating that the pilot intervention with interactive multimedia content reduced distressing beliefs and improved coping Freeman et al 2015 Participants also reported they found the therapy acceptable enjoyable and useful Based on these results the investigators have further modified the intervention The feasibility and efficacy of the therapy will be investigated in a randomised controlled design n 34

Please note the protocol has been been amended to exclude a pilot trial of a second brief intervention targeting reasoning styles in paranoia as since the initial protocol was developed we have obtained data from two randomised pilot studies demonstrating its feasibility and acceptability Garety et al 2015 Waller et al 2015 A further pilot trial of the reasoning styles intervention is therefore not indicated
