Pdf Summary
This document is a summary of a webinar titled "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis: Understanding the Basics" presented by Sarah Kopelovich, PhD, in partnership with the National Association on Mental Illness (NAMI). The webinar aims to provide participants with an understanding of the primary goals and theoretical principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for psychosis.<br /><br />CBT for psychosis focuses on helping individuals with psychotic and related symptoms that cause distress or dysfunction. It aims to reduce the distress and impairment associated with psychosis and helps individuals become aware of their thoughts and behaviors and how they impact their emotions. The therapy is based on the cognitive model and uses the Socratic method to help clients draw their own conclusions.<br /><br />CBT for psychosis involves different stages of treatment, including engagement, assessment, intervention, and relapse prevention. The goal is to reduce vulnerabilities to psychotic and mood symptoms and teach skills to manage and cope with psychotic symptoms when they occur. The therapy has been found to be effective for various populations, including those at risk for psychosis, individuals with a first episode, medication-resistant individuals, and those with multi-episodes.<br /><br />The evidence base for CBT for psychosis has been a topic of debate, with some considering it "oversold" and others "undersold." However, studies have shown positive effects for hallucinations, medication-resistant symptoms, and active comparator treatments. <br /><br />The document also provides additional resources for individuals with psychosis and their loved ones, as well as for CBTp learners/practitioners. Interested individuals can visit websites like nacbtp.org and uwSPIRITlab.org for more information.<br /><br />Overall, the webinar provides a foundational understanding of CBT for psychosis and its potential benefits for individuals experiencing psychosis.
