Summary

This study aims to evaluate a novel group psychological intervention targeting anxiety triggered by urban environments for people with paranoia.

Conditions

  • Paranoia
  • Schizophrenia-spectrum Diagnosis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Anxiety intervention

The intervention is based on a brief CBT for psychosis (CBTp) programme, focusing on understanding and managing anxiety processes that contribute to persecutory threat beliefs when in busy urban environments. The novel aspect of this intervention is that it is delivered in a group format. The intervention consists of six sessions which will be delivered on a weekly basis. Throughout the intervention there is an emphasis on setting tasks to practice applying the new skills outside of sessions, to help the person build confidence in being able to manage paranoia and feel less distressed in their daily life.
