Abstract
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) improves persistent psychotic symptoms. This study examined the effectiveness of added CBT in accelerating remission from acute psychotic symptoms in early schizophrenia. A 5-week CBT programme plus routine care was compared with supportive counselling plus routine care and routine care alone in a multi-centre trial randomising 315 people with schizophrenia and related disorders in their first or second acute admission. Outcome assessments were blinded. Linear regression over 70 days showed predicted trends towards faster improvement in the CBT group. Uncorrected univariate comparisons showed significant benefits at 4 but not 6 weeks for CBT vs routine care alone and benefits vs supportive counselling for auditory hallucinations score. CBT shows transient advantages over routine care alone or supportive counselling in speeding remission from acute symptoms in early schizophrenia.
