Summary

Psychosis is characterized by distorted perceptions of reality, often involving persecutory delusions. Research links these symptoms to cognitive biases like "jumping to conclusions." Despite mixed reviews of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBTp) for psychosis, a study will explore metacognitive training (MCT) delivered online. This training will be tested over 10 weeks with participants from a psychosis service in Kent, assessing its effect through interviews and questionnaires before and after the program, focusing on symptom improvement and cognitive changes.

BEHAVIORAL

The metacognitive training group

The MCT will consist of spending 90 minutes a week in a small online group setting working through a series of workshops. Participants will also be asked to complete homework each week and they will be supported with this. Interviews and questionnaires regarding symptoms and thinking errors will be used before and immediately after the intervention. The participants who attended the group and improved in their symptoms and thinking errors will be invited to an interview asking them what worked for them and how they found the group.
