Brief Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Psychosis

Abstract

Brief Cognitive behavior therapy for psychosis (CBTp) for psychosis is a developing area. Furthermore, research needs to be done to compare brief with standard CBTp. There is also a need to further explore the possibility of delivering CBTp using self-help, guided self-help, and eMedia. One important area in which brief interventions can be tried is case management, where frontline workers can be easily trained lo deliver Therapy. This has enormous implications for service delivery, reduction of distress and disability in clients with psychosis, and, above all, in terms of costs. Ideally CBTp should be provided in a variety of formats, with the dose of therapy being increased for those who do not respond to low-intensity approach.
