Brief Summary:
To verify the efficacy of a group cognitive-behavioral therapy approach to lessening psychotic symptoms of individuals with a first episode of psychosis and to compare its effects to a known skills training approach and a control group Our primary hypotheses were that CBT would do better than the control group at all points in time and better than the skills training approach though only at follow-ups
Detailed Description:
The studys protocol has the following objectives to verify the efficacy of a group CBT approach to compare the effects of CBT to those of the symptom management module and to a control group on psychotic symptoms and subjective experiences eg depression anxiety self-esteem social support insight and coping and to assess what the effects are related to via measuring client variables therapist variables and intervention variables that might explain the results This study follows a randomized controlled trial design where participants are randomly assigned to one of the three groups at each recruiting wave Both treatment modalities hold the same number of group meetings as well as similar formats lengths of treatment and operational structures each operationalized in detailed manuals Interviewers are blind to group allocation Symptoms both psychotic and otherwise depression self-esteem social adaptation anxiety insight social support and coping are all measured before the beginning of treatment three months follow-up nine-months follow-up and 15-months follow-up
