Cognitive behavioral therapy was first applied to psychotic disorders by Aaron Beck in 1952, however the first clinical trial of cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBT-P) was not completed until 1992. CBT-P has been shown to reduce distress related to psychotic symptoms by up to 40% and improve overall functioning. The evidence supporting its use is so robust that it is recommended in the American Psychiatric Association (APA) guidelines as well as the National Institutes of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for treatment of schizophrenia. However, this treatment remains underutilized and often unavailable for people in the United States experiencing psychosis due to lack of experienced practitioners and lack of understanding regarding the benefit of CBT-P in the treatment of psychotic disorders. This presentation aims to improve understanding of the evidence base surrounding CBT-P in the treatment of people experiencing psychosis and to describe the process of CBT-P.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
- Describe the evidence base behind psychotic symptom reduction in CBT-P
- Recognize the stress-vulnerability model as it relates to psychotic phenomena
- Summarize the steps of the CBT-P therapeutic process
