Summary

While Cognitive behavior therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is now established as an effective and evidence based therapy for psychotic illnesses in the west and is recommended by the national organizations both in Europe and in the USA. However, CBT remains limited to the western clients. We have adapted CBT for psychosis in Pakistan for use with local clients. Initial evaluations have found that these therapies are effective. Due to the financial restraints we would like to test a brief version of the Culturally adapted CBTp (CaCBTp) in Pakistan. We want to see if brief CaCBTp (6 sessions of CBT) would be effective in non western cultures in educing symptoms of schizophrenia. This study will test brief CaCBTp against care as usual in Pakistan in secondary care.
