“…Although Dannahy et al (2011) found significant improvements following PBCT groups, their study was not able to assess which, if any, of the four domains of PBCT contributed to improvement. Indeed, it is possible that improvements could be attributable to non-specific group therapy factors rather than to any one of the four theorised domains.…”

Person-based cognitive therapy groups for distressing voices: A thematic analysis of participant experiences of the therapy. Psychosis: Psychological, Social and Integrative Approaches, 6(1), 16-26. DOI:10.1080/17522439.2012.708775 2 ABSTRACT Objectives: This study set out to develop an understanding of participants' experiences of person-based cognitive therapy groups for distressing voices.Design: Qualitative data was gathered during 10 interviews with participants of PBCT groups for people distressed by hearing voices. Methods:A semi-structured interview was used to guide the interviews and data were analysed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Results:Three themes unique to PBCT emerged: relating to voices, relating to self and relating to others. The value of a mindfulness approach and the importance of changed beliefs about voice strength and power emerged as sub-themes in the 'relating to voices' theme. A sense of self separate to voices and a developing positive view of self emerged as sub-themes in the 'relating to self' theme. The 'relating to others' theme referred to changed social relationships during and following the group.

“…4 One such widely used measure in the UK is the CORE (Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation), an outcome assessment tool developed specifically for the psychological therapies. We have published three pilot studies [5][6][7] involving more than 80 people with distressing voices, or paranoia, or both, and each found a statistically significant pre-post improvement on CORE following groups using either mindfulness alone or mindfulness integrated with CBT.…”

“…Compared with previous EI-GCBTp programme studies, [2][3][4] our study included a wider range of symptom types, with similar or higher psychotic symptom severity than chronic symptom-specific psychosis studies 6,8,9,23 and an EI-GCBTp programme. 3 Our study was also by far the most ethnically diverse.…”

Aim: A modular symptom-specific (MSS) programme of early intervention group cognitive behaviour therapy for psychosis might confer additional therapeutic benefits and clinical and financial efficiency, but the approach is empirically untested. Therefore, we devised a novel MSS programme to test -in a culturally diverse 'Real World' early intervention service -its relevancy, feasibility, acceptability and safety. Method:The MSS programme comprised six different groups across 33 sessions: Psycho-Education (3), Mood-Management (5), Delusions (8), Auditory Hallucinations (8), Past Auditory Hallucinations (3) and Negative Symptoms (6). All patients were eligible for psycho-education, but other groups required a specific symptom.Results: Patients (n = 166, 37% White) showed wide heterogeneity in the activity, type and number of symptoms, and group-relevant symptoms were common. Eighteen groups have run so far, each type of group at least once, 58/166 (35%) of patients attended across 281/412 (68%) group sessions, 46/58 (79%) of patients re-attended, and the 58 patients attended groups a mean of 4.8 times.Patients were significantly (P < 0.05) more likely to attend the programme if they had a schizophrenia diagnosis, a longer psychotic illness length or one active group-relevant (psychotic/ mood) symptom. Diagnostically uncertain psychosis patients were almost significantly (P = 0.05) less likely to attend the programme. duration of untreated psychosis and ethnicity were unrelated to attendance/ re-attendance. No group-related risk incidents occurred. Conclusion:A MSS programme approach is highly relevant to early intervention symptom heterogeneity and is feasible, culturally acceptable and safe; it also appears particularly efficient. Future research should now test its clinical efficacy.
