Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp) is a therapy for individuals with psychosis that focuses on the individual’s thoughts and behaviors and how these impact emotions. This approach has been established in the literature and has been shown to reduce positive symptoms when compared to other psychosocial interventions and improve outcomes when positive symptoms are medication resistant. It also has demonstrated client acceptance as a treatment and a reduction in the number of days in inpatient treatment. This presentation is intended to give an introduction to CBTp and encourage practitioners to consider integrating this approach into their practice. It will focus briefly on supporting literature for CBTp. It will set the context for therapy engagement and how to assess for therapy readiness. A portion of the presentation will review and give examples of cognitive and behavioral techniques for populations with psychosis. These techniques will be familiar to those who practice within a CBT frame. The participants will then have an opportunity to apply these techniques to case examples.
This session is at the intermediate level and is designed for psychologists and other mental health professionals.
Objectives:
1. Review evidence base for CBTp.
2. Describe strategies to engage individuals with psychosis in therapy and assess readiness to start cognitive and behaviorally based strategies.
3. Explain cognitive and behaviorally based strategies for population with psychosis and apply strategies to cases examples.
